Michael Keaton will have fries with that (Oscar)

Save that Oscars speech, Michael Keaton! The Birdman star could soon make another awards season play after signing on to play the founder of McDonald's — a project every studio in Hollywood apparently wanted to be part of.

The Wrap reports that The Weinstein Co. won a hot bidding war over The Founder, with Keaton playing McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc. Here's how they describe the project:
Chronicling the rise of McDonald’s fast food empire, “The Founder” tells the true story of how Illinois salesman Ray Kroc met brothers Mac and Dick McDonald, who were operating a hamburger restaurant in southern California in the 1950s. Kroc subtly maneuvered himself into a position to take control of their company, which grew into one of the world’s best-known brands after he bought the chain for $2.7 million in 1961.
So we've got Sandra Bullock's Tupperware movie, J-Law's Miracle Mop biopic (shooting now, to TMZ's delight) and Keaton's McDonald's drama on the docket for next year. We'd like to go ahead and supersize our popcorn.
