Thought I just had a crazy case of deja vu... only to realize half the news is so slow today, that even the trades are reporting OLD news (Black Panther, Dictator... both of those are from 2010 on TB). Sheesh, Sundance news can't come soon enough!
And just saw they are remaking a 1980's Mamet classic "About Last Night" ... jesus f*ing christ can't Hollywood come up with an original edgy comedy about sex in the 2000's? Isn't that what "Swingles", "Fuck-Buddies", etc is all about... If they remake Ferris Bueller, I will fucking blow a lung...
That was Ed Zwick that did About Last Night. And he didn't even write the movie. Or at least he didn't take credit. I just cataloged the Shooting Draft a month or so back. Mamet has more taste than that. And it's simply not his style.
