From Nia Vardalos, writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, comes the hilarious comedy My Life in Ruins. Georgia (Nia Vardalos) has lost her kefi (Greek for “mojo”). Discouraged by her lack of direction in life, she works as a travel guide, leading a rag-tag group of tourists as she tries to show them the beauty of her native Greece. While opening their eyes to an exotic foreign land, she too begins to see things in new ways—finding her kefi in the process.
Ruins stars Nia Vardalos, Richard Dreyfuss, Harland Williams and Rachel Dratch. The film was produced by Michelle Chydzik Sowa and Nathalie Marciano with Gary Goetzman, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Peter Safran serving as executive producers.
Ruins will be release in 2009.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Richard Dreyfus might make a trip to Oliver Stone’s White House, entering final negotiations to play Dick Cheney in the provocateur director’s upcoming “W.”
Cheney is the last major position in the Bush administration to be filled, which is occupied by the likes of Brolin (George W. Bush) Thandie Newton (Condoleezza Rice) and Elizabeth Banks (Laura Bush).
The 60-year-old Dreyfuss has never played a U.S. leader, though has had a few related roles. He starred as an opposition senator to Michael Douglas’ commander-in-chief in 1995’s “The American President,” as Alexander Haig in a television movie about Ronald Reagan, and played the president of a banana republic in the 1980’s comedy “Moon Over Parador.”
Check out the calendar for “W” – Is it well planned or what? The movie will be released in October, before Americans elect a new president. A DVD release will follow in January timed to Bush leaving office.
