Black and Dekker (yeah, yeah) are long-time friends; they scripted Monster Squad together, which Dekker directed. John Davis, who produced the original film, is producing the reboot as well.

For my money, though, it’s Steve Coogan that’s bringing me to the yard. The director duo of Scott McGehee and David Siegel have wisely thought to bring Coogan into their world in order to make something a little more powerful than their highest profile film to date, 2005’s Bee Season, which did burnt out at the box office when it released....

‘Blue Like Jazz’ Trailer: SXSW-Bound Coming Of Age Tale Wrestles With Faith By Russ Fischer/Feb. 21, 2012 5:33 pm EST I think stories about faith can be fascinating, but it is a difficult topic to explore without veering too far into being didactic or over-earnest. Faith is a deep, rich narrative soil, but when we’ve got people like Rick Santorum taking the discussion about religion to crazy ends on the national level, it’s easy to see why people either avoid stories about faith, or take them to extremes....
