The You’ve Got Mail star has signed on to a new pilot from Amazon that has been created by Whitney Cummings (Two Broke Girls) and Lee Daniels (Empire).

The longline for the comedy, set in a college ombudsman’s office, states: “Good People will use its college setting to navigate the current cultural climate, the concept of feminism across different generations, and the struggle to reconcile socially constructed ideas with current ethical views regarding complex issues such as sex, race, class, and gender.”

Kinnear will take on the role of charming, charismatic philosophy professor, Dr. Paul Keating.

He will star alongside Lisa Kudrow (who will also executive produce) as the ombudsman Lynn Steele, and creator Cummings as Helen Miller.

Cummings and Daniels both wrote the script for the pilot, with the latter set to direct.

Pathé will be making a film version of the 1970 Miss World contest and its disruption by the newly founded Women’s Liberation Movement.

The event was marred by controversy with a bomb exploding beneath a BBC outside broadcast van in an attempt to prevent the contest being televised, and flour bombs being thrown during the show.

Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe whose resume includes episodes of British classics, The Crown and Call the Midwife, the film has already signed on Keira Knightley, Lesley Manville, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

With Bob Hope having hosted the 1970 competition, pressure was on to do the casting justice…

The project has now signed on Greg Kinnear to play the role of the TV show host.

Misbehaviour is also set to star Rhys Ifans, Phyllis Logan, and Keeley Hawes.

Principal photography began this week, with no release date announced as yet.
