TFC (late) Morning Report – Friday, April 3, 2009 – Paul Weitz in talks to direct Little Fockers
Top Story: Move over Peter Segal. Paul Weitz, director of About a Boy and In Good Company, is in talks to direct the second Meet the Parents sequel, Little Fockers. Weitz is a surprising competent choice for a project I had no intention to see. Guess I’ll spend the $9 now. (Variety)
In Other News: The Cannes lineup is coming together and Colin Farrell may be the fest breakout star. In Bruges put him on the path for a comeback. Now the actor could have as many as three films screening at the French film fest. Oh and expect to hear about the new movie Looking for Eric from Palme d’Or winner Ken Loach. I cannot wait for that one. (THR)
Aaron Eckhart is in talks to star opposite Nicole Kidman in John Cameron Mitchell’s adaptation of the stage play Rabbit Hole. (Variety)
Gigantic, directed by Matt Aselton and starring Paul Dano, Zooey Deschanel, and John Goodman, the won best narrative feature award at AFI Dallas International Film Festival. If it stars John Goodman, I’m there. No word yet on a release. (Variety)
