In something other than Spider-Man, for starters. I’m sure Tobey would like to do a film very far removed from the Webbed One, and so has set his sights on The Details, Variety reports. It’s a black comedy in which Tobey stars with Elizabeth Banks as a couple whose marriage is on the rocks. And when they discover ravenous raccoons in their backyard, it sets off a chain reaction leading to a murder. I can get behind that. I’ve had a run in with a mama raccoon once, trying to feed her babies, and she was vicious and downright scary.
In other casting news: Two ideas really, that are making me sigh heavily AND roll my eyes:
1. Will Forte said yes to doing a MacGruber movie, based on his SNL‘s MacGyver-spoofed skits. I highly suggest Forte speaks with Molly Shannon (Superstar), Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan (Night at the Roxbury) and Tim Meadows (The Ladies Man) before he does anything REALLY stupid. Seriously, Will, talk to them about their ill-fated attempts at focusing a movie around their popular SNL characters.
2. They are making a movie based around the Atari 1979 videogame Asteroids. You know, the one in which a player controls a triangular spaceship in an asteroid field and tries to shoot and destroy the hulking masses of rock and the occasional flying saucer while avoiding smashing into both. They are developing a movie about this. A movie. WTF?
