B J Novak to star in McDonald's biopic

LOS ANGELES: "The Mindy Project" star B J Novak will join Michael Keaton in the upcoming biopic of popular fast food chain McDonald's, titled, "The Founder".

Keaton stars as Ray Kroc, who did not actually found McDonald's, but took over the fledgling business from Mac and Dick McDonald and amped it up to world dominance, said The Hollywood Reporter.

Novak, 35, will play a McDonald's executive and protege of Kroc. Nick Offerman and Laura Dern are also attached to the project.

"The Founder" is slated to come out in the fall of 2016.
