Default Cha-ching

Title: Untitled Rasmussen-DiMeglio Project
Log line: A Southern father meets his three daughters' boyfriends for the first time at Thanksgiving. The boyfriends turn out to be an Arab, a Jew and a black man.
Writer: Tim Rasmussen and Vince DiMeglio
Agent: Keya Khayatian of UTA, mngmt. firm Mosaic Media Group and law firm Colden McKuin & Frankel
Buyer: Warner Bros. Pictures
Price: $1.25 million against $2 million
Genre: Comedy
Logged: 10/13/05
More: Based on a pitch by Andrew Panay and David Dobkin, which was part of a bidding war. David Dobkin and Tapestry Films' Andrew Panay, Peter Abrams & Robert Levy will produce. David Dobkin will direct.

Wow. They're not directing, it's not part of a series, they're not starring in it, and these two are (reportedly) pulling in that kind of cash? Is there anything I"m missing here? Must be a good script and an even better agent.

Idea originated with Dobkin, who's red-hot after WEDDING CRASHERS success. That should explain the payday....

Over a million on a pitch... wow. It seems the ole "Part 2" is a delighful ride, but it's the "Part 1" that I am having the trouble with: Write and sell a screenplay that gets made into a HUGELY successful film.

Good for them, says I. Well deserved.

Yup, just like the old Sidney Poitier "Guess who's coming to dinner" was.
