Co-writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski to co-direct BIG EYES!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski... let's run through their dramatic credits. ED WOOD, MAN IN THE MOON and THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT.
Now they're going to co-direct one of their new scripts, called BIG EYES and like all three above-mentioned projects this is based on a real life story. This one about Margaret and Walter Keane. Walter was a famous artist in the '50s, known for his big-eyed paintings of children. He became incredibly rich and famous. The one tiny problem is that he couldn't paint to save his life. His wife did all the painting and he signed his name to it. She got dick and he got everything. At least he treated her like a piece of shit, too.
Pretty interesting, I think. Sounds like a great chance to see two fantastic actors playing in the same sandbox to me.
The writing's gotta be there. Now it's just up to Scott and Larry to nail the directing. Good luck guys!

Starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The guy had a very interesting life. There, Hollywood. Now give me my paycheck.

He struck up a conversation while I was hanging out with people on my porch. He told me I looked a little like Christian Slater and we talked about Heathers and Problem Child (the film he and Scott wrote that was going into production) and we walked around talking about movies. He is one of the reasons I began writing scripts. Everything he and Scott have written has been incredible. He was an incredibly nice person and I'm so glad they have had success. (I should look him up now that I am on the West Coast again.) I see everything they do in the theaters when I can and I can't wait for this movie.

The only other film they directed as well as wrote was SCREWED with Danny DeVito. So this should be great. -
