Keaton Creates McDonalds In ‘The Founder’ Trailer
I don’t know about you but I love (most) movies with Michael Keaton in them. Even his poorer movies can be elevated simply by having him in them. But this is probably not going to be a ‘poor’ movie at all. Check out the trailer for Keaton’s The Founder above. One word, persistence!
Look for it January 20th.
Starring: Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, Linda Cardellini, Patrick Wilson, B.J. Novak and Laura Dern
Directed by: John Lee Hancock
Written by: Robert Siegel

Synopsis
Directed by John Lee Hancock (SAVING MR. BANKS), THE FOUNDER features the true story of how Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), a struggling salesman from Illinois, met Mac and Dick McDonald, who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California. Kroc was impressed by the brothers’ speedy system of making the food and saw franchise potential. Writer Robert Siegel (THE WRESTLER) details how Kroc maneuvered himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire. The film also stars Laura Dern as Ray Kroc’s first wife Ethel; John Carroll Lynch as Mac McDonald and Nick Offerman as Dick McDonald.
