He actually looks kind of nice in the above photo, doesn’t it? Well, it may be one of the last “nice” poses we get from Mr. Spacey for a while, as he looks poised to join Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston as a trio of horrible bosses that three of their pee-ons (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) plan to have killed in the film…Horrible Bosses. [Variety]
Seth Gordon (The King of Kong, Four Christmases) is directing the picture, from a script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, off an earlier draft by Michael Markowitz. Both Goldstein and Markowitz come from writing television while Daley comes from acting in television, so this is a big move for everybody involved. It’s a solid premise but certainly one that feels ripe with sitcom-available antics.
Getting Spacey involved as an unlikeable executive is perfect. See Swimming With Sharks for further confirmation. Shooting starts in a month.
