The Screengrab

  • From Indie Promise to Corporate Schmaltz

    Way back in November, Variety mentioned that Robert Duvall had signed on for 2008 holiday release Four Christmases. It will also star Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. Why are we bringing you this news now? It has come to our attention that Four Christmases will be directed by one of 2007’s indie darlings, Seth Gordon. Gordon’s King of Kong was much loved by more than a few over here at the ‘Grab and we are much dismayed to hear that Gordon’s next effort will be in that most dreaded of genres, the Christmas movie. Say it ain’t so, Seth. Say it ain’t so!


  • Greg Kinnear Would Jump Many Barrels

    The King of Kong is awesome. The story of down-on-his-luck everyman Steve Wiebe and his descent into the seamy underbelly of videogaming competition is hilarious, heartwarming and horrific at points thanks to the heretofore-unknown levels of nerd-dom that brood in America's heartland. It isn’t too surprising that that there are plans to make a fictionalized version of the story but, as Will Ferrell apparently told director Seth Gordon, no adaptation could possibly be as funny as the reality. But if it's going to happen, we here at the Screengrab can hardly think of a better candidate to play silver-screen Wiebe than Greg Kinnear, which is cool considering he's down to play the part according to MTV. Kinnear has the perfect sad-faced chops to play a suburban dad who always wanted more from life. Now all they need to do is to clone Brion James and get him a sweet wig to play Billy Mitchell. — John Constantine
