Just when you were about to write another entry in your myspace about how Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a long winded and contrived title, we find out that another unreleased book is already being picked up to be a movie and the title is far longer. I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President.
Warner Bros. has snatched up the film rights to a book proposal by writer Josh Lieb (The Daily Show, a Deuce Bigelow) entitled I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President. On board to produce is McG via his production company Wonderland Sound and Vision.
The plot will revolve around a 7th grader who secretly has more money than Oprah, but wants to win the middle school class presidency to impress his daddy.
This sounds like it will be a typical sunday afternoon feelgood movie with a nice story about how you shouldn’t have to TRY to win your father’s love. Money can’t buy you happiness, and this sad little jerk of a 7th grader is about to find out there are more important things in life.
All they need is Tim Allen to play the loveable emotionally detached dad, and I am in. That might have sounded sarcastic, but I am serious.
I have a weak spot for Tim Allen moral lesson driven feelgood movies. It’s true.
