Honeymoon With Harry is a project by Crash screenwriter Paul Haggis that had been put aside years ago but has now been revived by director Jonathan Demme (Rachel Getting Married, Silence of the Lambs). Is that a dark enough creative team yet? Don’t worry the plot will make sure to do it: the story revolves around a former pick-up artist (Cooper) who gets engaged to a girl whose father (De Niro) realizes his potential son-in-law’s bad traits and tries to break off the wedding. But…the girl dies. Cooper’s heart-broken character sets out on his honeymoon alone….where he runs into his would-be wife’s father. The film was described as a “James Brooks-style look at two characters who loathe one another but
are stuck together at a time when each is in desperate shape.”

What do you think? Is Bradley (pictured at an L.A. gym yesterday) ready for the big time Oscar bait? Are WE ready to see him as Oscar bait, and not just man candy?
