Vince Vaughn Will Be The Politician, With What If’s Michael Dowse Directing

September 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

vince-vaughn-slideMichael Dowse’s What If may not have become a massive hit on its US release, but it nevertheless impressed many in Hollywood. It’s helped him snag a new gig, with the helming signing up to direct The Politician, which THR says Vince Vaughn attached to star.

The film is about ‘a politician in Washington D.C. who is caught in a scandal with some hookers. The man and his underachieving accomplice go on the run from the FBI, U.S. Marshals and a gang of drug dealers.’

Matthew Bass and Theodore Bressman wrote the script, which landed on last year’s Black List of the best unproduced screenplays. There’s no news at the moment on when the film will head into production.

Jay Baruchel Tweets Plans For Goon 2

September 25, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jay Baruchel has taken to Twitter to says he’s busy planning Goon 2, a sequel to Michael Dowse’s indie hit comedy film Goon, which opened to surprisingly good reviews and healthy box office last year. As with the first movie, Baruchel will be writing the sequel, although this time with Jesse Chabot rather than Evan Goldberg.

Goon stars Seann William Scott as ex-bouncer Doug Glatt, whose prowess with his fists lands him on a mediocre semi-pro hockey team. Despite the fact Glatt’s not great at the hockey part of the game, he helps lead the team to victory. The film was based on a book by Adam Frattasio and Doug Smith, titled Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey.

Here is what Jay Baruchel had to say about the upcoming sequel in a series of Tweets, ‘I’d like to say thank you to all of you for all the GOON 2 love. You guys are wicked.’ We will give them and you guys the epic, violent, heartfelt awesomeness that is not just deserved but required. HIGH. LAND. ERS.’ ‘Evan Goldberg will be involved as a producer and we will all be working our asses off to make as awesome a flick as possible.’ ‘And YES @mdowse is directing the motherfucker!#gaypornhard.’

There’s no news on when it might shoot, although presumably Seann William Scott is also involved with the film.

Rafe Spall & Megan Parks Get The F Word

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The F Word already has Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Mackenzie Davis and Adam Driver onboard, and now Variety reports that they’ve been joined by Prometheus’ Rafe Spall and Charlie Bartlett’s Megan Parks.

Despite what you may think, the title doesn’t refer to a rude word. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay.

Elan Mastai (The Samaritan) wrote the screenplay, which landed on the 2008 Black List, based on the play Toothpaste and Cigars by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi. Shooting started this week in Toronto and will move on to Dublin, with Michael Dowse directing.

Daniel Radcliffe Lets Loose With The F Word

July 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It still doesn’t seem quite right that Daniel Radcliffe is signing up for movies that don’t start with ‘Harry Potter and the…’ but he’s added another, this time heading for his first romantic comedy, called The F Word. Zoe Kazan has also signed up for Goon director Michael Dowse’s movie.

Goon Red Band Trailer

November 8, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If this NSFW trailer is anything to go by, Goon is gonna be pretty violent for a sports flick – but then, it is about ice hockey. Based on a true story, Seann William Scott plays Doug Glatt, a bouncer who overcomes long odds to lead a team of under performing misfits to semi-pro hockey glory, beating the crap out of everything that stands in his way. No UK date is currently set, but we shouldn’t have to wait too long for Goon.
