A bio-pic on Glen Campbell is in the planning stages.
Glen’s widow Kim Campbell said that James Keach, who directed the acclaimed documentary I'll Be Me, is "working on it."
Kim wasn't ready to suggest someone to play her husband, who died last August. But she noted, "Glen's gonna be tough to cast." Any prospective actor, she said, has "got some tough shoes to fill."
