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.
