Had enough movies about doctors and lawyers? Well, you're in luck, because TNT is making a movie about a librarian, creatively titled The Librarian. The film, which will supposedly be an "action-packed" sci-fi thriller, stars Noah Wyle, Kyle MacLachlan, Olympia Dukakis, and Jane Curtin.
IMDB's plot summary makes it sound like a real gem:
When a magical artifact is lifted from his library, a meek librarian sets out to ensure its safe return. To do so, however, he enlists the service of a woman with exceptional martial arts skills.
Yikes. I love how the librarian is (naturally) described as "meek." The stereotype lives on! Not that you'd expect anything else from a made-for-cable movie. I may have to TiVo this when it airs later this fall to see just how bad it is.

I might have to see it too though - Kyle Maclachlan lives on evidently too!
