The Last Morning Deal Report

Posted by Scott Von Doviak

A word of warning: just because this is our last Morning Deal Report at the Screengrab doesn’t mean Hollywood is going to stop announcing ridiculous projects. You’ll just have to find out about them somewhere else. I wish I could say we’ve saved the best for last, but we can only work with what they give us.

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz will reunite for James Mangold’s Wichita. It is not the story of a lineman who’s still on the line. “The script has been through many machinations, but the most recent drafts were done by Scott Frank, with Mangold currently fine-tuning the script with Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island). Two-hander has several action scenes. Cruise will play a secret agent who pops in and out of the life of a single woman,” Variety reports.

Kevin Smith has found another pair of dicks. “Seann William Scott and Adam Brody are joining Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in Warner Bros.' A Couple of Dicks,” Smith’s new buddy action comedy, per The Hollywood Reporter. Smith did not write the script, which is by script Robb and Mark Cullen, and “follows a maverick cop (Willis) and his partner (Morgan) who, while tracking a valuable stolen baseball card, tangle with a memorabilia-obsessed gangster and rescue a Mexican beauty who holds the key to millions in laundered drug money.”

Also, there will be another Batman movie, another Star Trek, another James Bond, and at some point, probably another King Kong remake. Save us the aisle seat!

Don't forget the as-yet-unannounced docu-drama, "Grabbed in the Workplace".  

Based on stylized interpretations of actual events, the plot of the computer generated, serio-comic docu-drama will focus on a rag-tag band of misfits who battle the entertainment journalism hegemony through their ill-fated indie film blog, only to find that the New World Order has been manipulating their every action since before they were born.  

No names have been attached to the project, but Wesley Snipes' agent has expressed interest in "doing anything to keep my meal ticket out of jail."

Don't forget to make us a list of similar or even just recommended blogs.  I've always wanted to know what each of your guys' favorite film blog is.
