And today it was announced that Michael Diliberti and Matthew Sulivan are on board to write the screenplay. Best known for the 1985 version that starred Richard Pryor and John Candy, Brewster's Millions is, at its root, the story of a young man who is forced to spend millions of dollars within a set time period in order to receive his full inheritance. While the original novel, written in 1902, had the heir spending a million in a year, Pryor's film had him spending $30 million in 30 days. Naturally, there are certain stipulations for the spending spree allowing for plenty of comedic moments as evidenced by past adaptations.
And it seems like Diliberty and Sulivan are up to the challenge of Brewster's Millions. They recently received a lot of attention for their comedy spec Comic Con about two friends who stage a heist at San Diego Comic Con in order to save their neighborhood comic shop.

I don't really think now is the time to make a movie about man who has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it.

Just don't expect this to be a G-rated fare. The script is set to be penned by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage whose recent adaptation of Moby Dick for Universal was reportedly pitched as a "300-like reimagining" and "visually stunning action piece." So does this mean that we'll see Moses personally mowing down every first-born son in Egypt? Not likely. But it seems we will be treated to something more along the lines of the classic 1956 version, The Ten Commandments, only with a grander, more epic scale.

I hope Michael Bay is in charge of this.

Imagine ...

*Explosions = The Burning Bush- Everytime God speaks the Bush explodes in flames!!!

*He can have Arabs be the Egyptians!

*When the Red Sea parts he has a Moses stand there ... and then the camera rotates around Moses slowly!

*When the Angel of Darkness takes the first born children. It can be done like his other trademark camera shots ... the behind the helicopter/aircraft dusk/sunset flyby shots!

MY GOD IT WOULD BE EPIC!!!!!


Nae ... dare I say ...AWE-SOME!

Modern Warfare 2 spawns a movie ...

Somehow immune to the contagion, he tries to save the remaining survivors as he struggles to prevent the deadly wave from spreading across the planet.

Arem penned the script for the pic, and is also developing the project as a graphic novel with co-creator Brandon Humphreys, with Christopher Shy illustrating.

...says THIS article in Variety.

Given that MODERN WARFARE 2 made something like 100 kazillion-gillion-babillion dollars (actually, Variety says it pulled down $550 million in five days - towards a total of $3 billion since its November 10 release ), Arem's gravitation towards other media isn't altogether surprising. It's a great game which I don't entirely suck at. I appreciate that empowerment, so a tip of the hat to Keith...

By the way, if you're thinking of picking up MW2 for Christmas or something, the night vision goggles that come with THE "PRESTIGE" VERSION AVAILABLE HERE actually work pretty well! Their range isn't particularly great, but they're really pretty nice in tighter environs.

Hmmm, FROST ROAD. If FURY ROAD actually happens, I wonder if people will confuse it with this?

No one can do it better than Pryor.

I don't think anyone should try.

Comedies should never be remade, pretty much. When has a comedy remake ever been even acceptably alright?
