Miramax, Kirk Jones, De Niro, And Beckinsale Say EVERYBODY'S FINE!!

Published at:  Apr 08, 2008 9:32:06 AM CDT


Merrick here...



Kirk Jones (WAKING NED and NANNY McPHEE) will script and direct a remake of 1991's STANNO TUTTI BENE (aka EVERYBODY'S FINE).

It'll star Robert DeNiro, Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore, and Kate Beckinsale.

NOTE: CLICK Drew & Kate's names for obligatory cheescake shots-of-the-day.

De Niro will play a widower who realizes that his deceased wife was his only connection to his children. He decides on a whim to take a road trip to reconnect with each of his grown kids, discovering that their lives are far from perfect.

    Deniro peaked with Rocky and Bullwinkle

    by otis fairweather iii

    And trying to recapture that magic is just wasting his time. Just make a couple of Bullwinkle prequels already.

    Why don't you call me some time and we'll talk about your mother. Because I can see where her and Batman Begins have alot in common...they both suck. Peace.

    Original is great flick

    by ace hunter

    I'm a huge Tornatore fan, so I hope they don't screw it up. I'm suprised they aren't trying to remake Cinema Paridiso, though. One of my all time favorites.

    by stalkeye

    I gotta admit, he did a decent job portraying Marvel's Daywalker (Blade The series)and after the show was cancelled I have'nt heard from him in almost 2 years.Oh wellz.

    Everybody's Fine

    by jjgittes

    Not a good idea for a remake - the original doesn't have much going for it besides Mastroanni - and De Niro is going to struggle with getting the warmth and grace notes needed for this I think.......unless it's a total reimagination of the original.
