Ari Gold would say: "Who the f&*# is DON READY and why am I playing him?"
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So, Paramount Vantage has a deal with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay where they'll fund flicks that fall under their banner Gary Sanchez Prods. The first one up is called THE GOODS: THE DON READY STORY about a used car liquidator who is hired to save a struggling dealership during the big Fourth of July weekend.
Jeremy Piven has been nabbed for the lead role. Neal Brennan (writer/producer/director of Chappelle's Show) is directing from a script by Rick Stempson and Andy Stock, who wrote the upcoming GARY THE TENNIS COACH, which is getting good word out of the test screenings and I've heard the script was really damn funny, too.
Piven is the man and it looks like he's working with some of tomorrow's comedy talent. Should be one to watch.

Sign me up!

Looks good to see Piven in a lead for once
-
Sounds a lot like Used Cars (which is underrated). Still, with Piven in the lead I'll definitely give it a look.
-
hahaha that always makes me laugh.
-
Jeremy Piven is GOLD
-
Ari Gold is one of the best characters to spew from the loins of HBO in a long fucking time. Very much looking forward to this fucker

Anyone here see Slasher the doc by John Landis? Great, highly entertaining documentary about a used car liquidator who spends a week in Memphis trying to help a struggling car lot. The slasher is this ultra-twitchy, foul mouthed but ultimately likeable dude. I wonder if this is what they're shooting for with J. Piven? I'd certainly pay to see that.

Anyone else remember the Will Ferrell script that was mentioned on AICN called August Blowout? It was way before Anchorman came out.
-
Bring back Kurt Russell dammit!
-
he has a rare condition where he started off with a receded hairline and it goes in reverse. In his old age, he's going to have golden locks of baby soft hair. It's the only real explanation. I mean why else would he look like patrick stewart back in his days of cameos in movies like Singles?
-
Yeah, this does sound familiar. I recall an AICN script review from years ago mentioning there was a part for a super salesman that just screamed for Alec Baldwin. Anyone? Anyone?
-
I had forgotten about that script but yeah it sounds familiar
-
I definitley rember reading about this too. As far as I recall it was one of the regular writters that posted the script review . Must have been at least 2 years ago and from what I can remember . It has Will Ferrel attached at the time .
Dont know why I'm bothering to tell you all what I remember reading here 2 years ago , but I felt I had to .
-
He sort of specializes in that. And something must have happened to his hairline.
-
I couldn't remember the name, but this was definitely attached to Will Ferrell on imdb for quite a while.

Re: Jeremy Piven, See Tenth Season Simpson episode Homer to the MAX.
-
... "Cupid" ensured that I will watch anything Jeremy Piven is in. Combination of Piven with Rob Thomas' writing was amazing to see. Too bad the show got the big shaft and has zero chance of ever making it on to DVD.
-
See UJ's comment above. Does Hollywood have any original ideas left?
-
Used Cars is the shit. Grandpa Munster as Hangin' Harrison.

Help us here, but didn't one of the blackboxes here at AICN review the script for this film like two or three years ago? Link us to that, because it sounded genius. But I also think that was before Anchorman came out, wasn't it? I say this because the script sounded VERY SIMILAR to the Anchorman characters. Hell, the movie even begins with the lead (now Piven) talking to the camera about how much he loves his job, equipped with sexual innuendos. One of the characters sounded perfect for Alec Baldwin... some older car salesman's boss or something to that effect, right? SOmeone fill us all in here. I know the review is on the site somewhere.
-
Ralph Underwood Ready?
-
Begging the question:
Who the hell cares?! I'm just glad he got away from his "I'm the best buddy." roles that he was stuck in. -
And I don't mean that in a good way.
-
Slasher is a very interesting doc, though.
-
I was just saying...
-
years ago. I think it was called "august rush" back then.
-
The mantra of the new generation. It almost sounds like an Ari-ism.
-
...and working in it for 16 years (oops 17 years as of today) has shown me many grey hairs and how bitter some fans can be when their on-screen (be it movie or tv) heroes don't want to hang out with them. Less anger prolongs everyones life. Try focusing on the positive!
