do you really think people want to see you make a movie about a guy who goes to aa but isn't really an alcoholic? he just needs the companionship? that's a pretty big left turn.
you know, i read it four years ago. i need to read it again. i don't remember not liking it. i just can't tell you the studio will make it. your last few movies didn't do so well.
you always do well in australia, but that's about it.
i don't know if that's going to cut it either. the head of the studio does a lot of drinking, i don't think he finds that whole area funny. maybe if you commit to do another one of the davey movies, i could tie it to that, so they have to do both.
wellthere's this great script goingaround town, happy holidays. whichis about an immature 40 year old man who acts like a kid. in it he comes home for the holiday season for the first time in ten years. and havoc ensues. you get to make fun of thanksgiving, and hanukkah and christmas and new years. they say they can turn it into a davey movie.
no.
i wish you would. you've never been able to do it in the past. you always talk a big game about writing your own shit. but i've yet to see a script land on my desk.
