Being a comedy writer, I love it when high concept comedies do well ... can't wait to see this one. Enjoyed the script and wasn't surprised it sold for $2 mil. The story is the star!

By the way, another high concept comedy that apparently is in production is Chad Schmidt ... due for release in 2010 ... I'll go out on a limb and predict that it will be next year's The Hangover ;)

Interesting observations. I'd bank on the success of The Hangover as well. Even just based on immediate premise appeal. Sounds like it's got all the makings of a solid comedy.

Just heard that chad schmidt is being rewritten for Jim Carrey instead of Brad Pitt -- so forget what I said as that completely changes the story. Too bad, too.
