Scott's project from last year, Ghost of A Chance has been picked up by PorchLight Entertainment, re-titled Role of A Lifetime, and is planned for release as a feature film. 
You may remember PorchLight as the producers of The Trial Of Old Drum (in which Scott co-starred for Animal Planet), and also the animated The Adventures of the Book of Virtues (PBS), in which Scott provided one of the voices.
Scott stars in Role of A Lifetime as Bobby. We'll have to dig up the plot details out of our archives for our next update.  The director/writer of this film is Anthony Alda -- Alan Alda's brother.   Alda also acts in the film.  Ed Sanders and Jon Turteltaub are the producers.
PorchLight is planning international distribution for this movie.  No word yet on US distribution yet.
This info is from Project Quantum Leap, thanks to Donna, Margaret, and Jay

Ghost of a Chance
Heard from Melanie who runs the Somewhat Official Harry Groener Fanpage, some details on Ghost of a Chance:
I was extremely lucky to meet Harry with some friends in Indiana last week and asked him about Ghost of a Chance. He said he and Dawn were going to the premiere after they left Indiana (probably been there by now.)
In the film Scott plays a has been actor who drops from public view and is presumed dead, and then Hollywood decides to make a film about his life. He comes out of hiding and tells his agent (Harry) that he wants the part of himself, and it's pretty much about Scott trying to get this role of himself.
[Gee, doesn't this sound interesting *grin*--Pam]
When it's coming out, though, I don't know, but it sounds like it's done. :)

We will keep you posted if we hear more.
Thanks to Melanie for sharing and for remembering us!
