Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a heads up on some movement up at Universal with Peter Berg doing a flick based on John Pearson's book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortune and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty. That's a mouthful.
It's a fascinating case (involving body parts and ruthless kidnappers) and one that'll make for an interesting movie. I wonder if Balthazar Getty will get to play a part?
Berg's wrapping up HANCOCK at the moment and has a Kentucky Derby movie he's committed to, but this sounds much more interesting than a feel-good story about a horsie that survives a broken leg. At least to me it does. What about you?
