I love Frank Oz as a director. The Dark Crystal, Bowfinger, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels… yadda yadda yadda (it doesn’t hurt my appreciation for his that he does the voice of Yoda too!). Word had it that his newest project is “Death at a Funeral”. The good folks over at Cinema Confidential give us this little synopsis:
“Funeral” follows a dysfunctional British family as they gather to mourn the passing of their patriarch. But when a man threatens to expose the patriarch’s secret unless he is paid a large amount of cash, the man’s two sons try to do everything to keep the secret from leaking to the guests, and what should be a heartfelt good-bye turns into a calamity.
These types of comedies seem to be Frank Oz’s strength. I’m thinking this will be fantastic.
