Because Meet the Spartans was met with such raving reviews and wild success, can we expect anything less than more from the braintrust that brought us this cinematic feat?
Grosvenor Park is going to finance a new, untitled project from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, otherwise known as the writer/director team behind Spartans.
The pair have just started directing from their script in Shreveport, LA, and while there’s no word on what this latest comedy will be about, it’s got a cast that includes Matt Lanter, Vanessa Minnillo, Carmen Electra, Kim Kardashian, G-Thang, Nicole Parker, Crista Flanagan, and Ike Barinholtz. Sounds excellent, eh? We won’t even have to wait long for it. The film is scheduled to be released this August.
I don’t think it would be wise for these guys to even admit they were doing this movie. If I was responsible for Meet the Spartans, I would write my next movie under a pseudonym and hope it was a success so I could later come clean and clear my name.
Secondly, can we really have any faith in a big screen release movie that goes from script in hand to finished product in just over three months?
Someone should kick these guys into a bottomless hole for not even having the spine to TRY for another outing. At least if they TRIED to make a decent film I could reserve judgment but it doesn’t even seem like they are putting out any real effort.
Get it out, get paid. Go home and cry yourself to sleep.
