A few months ago we told you about the Repo Man sequel Waldo’s Hawaiian Holiday. That was a graphic novel adaptation of a screenplay Alex Cox had written in the 1990s, and really didn’t have much to do with the 1984 cult classic at all. Now comes news that Cox is proceeding with an actual big screen sequel, although this doesn’t mean Emilio Estevez should start waiting by the phone any time soon. According to ScreenDaily, the follow-up will be called Repo Chick and Cox has already completed the screenplay. “Repo Chick will unfold against the backdrop of the credit crunch and the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, where repossessions of homes, cars and other forms of property is at a new high. ‘The repo business has expanded to everything from boats, houses, aeroplanes, small nations...children,’ Cox told ScreenDaily.com.” Please post your Repo Chick casting suggestions in the comments below.
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is not just the motto around Screengrab headquarters, it’s also the title of a memoir by Tucker Max to be adapted for the screen by director Bob Gosse (Niagara, Niagara). Per the Hollywood Reporter: “The film, written by Max and Nils Parker, follows his trip to a friend's bachelor party, where he ensnares the groom in a lie that threatens the wedding, then abandons him to pursue further carnal knowledge. After being banned from the nuptials, Max attempts to get back into his friend's good graces.” Wait, you can make a lot of money writing a memoir about drunken wedding behavior? Someone should have told me sooner.
And from the Please Don’t Be True file comes news that Quentin Tarantino is planning a remake of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! According to Variety, QT “thinks he may have found at least one of his leading ladies in the form of Tera Patrick, who is the No. 1 'erotic performer' in the world.” Of course, this information comes from Liz Smith’s column, so there’s reason to believe it’s not etched in stone.
