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. |

And what a brilliant, original idea it is.

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. |
