Will Arnett

[Gobby]

There is a good possibility I am going to be Will's personal assistant on a film this summer. I was SOOOO excited when the director told me- she was apologizing at first for giving me a job to someone not as 'well-known'. But HELLO!?! What she doesn't know is it's freakin' Will Arnett!

So yeah, wish me luck that everything goes well so I can work this summer!!! My director told me not to give any details at all regarding the status of the film (especially, when it's NOT official yet) but she said I can "sing to the timbucktoo" about me working with Will all I want- her words, not mine.

But listen folks, if it turns out it's all going to play out the way my director wants- I will give daily reports! hehe... count on me for that!

Now, go vote in round 2 of April Madness in the 'General' section of the postboard.

OMG You lucky lucky bitch/bastard!!! Are you at least able to tell us what the film is about?

Yes, and I want to hear daily reports about everyones favorite failed magician, well if you allowed to

[Gobby]

I don't think she would kill me if I told the plot, but it's about a family who finds a baby in a gas station.

Congratulations! That should be a lot of fun!

[Frightened Inmate #2]

Are you in *bleep* city or what, guy! Congrats!

I'll bet he'd appreciate it if you worked A.D. quotes into your conversations as much as possible. And did the chicken dance.

Go get 'em, Big Bear!

[Dr. Wordsmith]

Oh my GAWD that's the coolest thing I've ever heard!

Can you get us all autographs?!

Or at least tell us how big the honorable Mr. Arnett's part is?

I can't tell you how many poorly chosen words there are in that sentence.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been living with my housemate who intentionally makes terrible puns for over a decade now, and I can't turn my pun-detector off.

[Gobby]

I'm not sure exactly which part he is casted for, I'm pretty sure he has the supporting role but then again, I could've mixed him up with Tim Blake Nelson's role- not positive. To be honest, I haven't even read the full screenplay just yet- I just signed on just from Arnett's possible attachment to the project.

But like I said, it's not exactly set in stone just yet... so wish me luck.

[Kiarnit]

Good luck!

Was just looking at Arnett's IMDB page, and saw this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402230/

And who else is in it? None other than Kitty, Judy Greer!

wow. that is insane. i'm highly jealous. i hope you do a good job assistanting. (and did i mention i'm very jealous? though i'd be a bad assistant. i'd either stand there and stare at him or be overly helpful to an annoying degree)

would this be the movie he's doing with that dax shepard guy?

[Gobby]

would this be the movie he's doing with that dax shepard guy?

I don't think so, unless there were some development in the film I was completed oblivious about- which is HIGH possibility seeing I'm only a lowly assistant.

I know I'm not suppose to say much about the cast or anything but I already leaked Tim Blake Nelson ('O Brother, Where Art Thou?') is attached to the project already- I hope I don't get in trouble for this.

I also know the original title of the film was 'Baby' but I'm sure that changed by now. I'll ask my director again when I see her but it won't be another couple of weeks since I'm shooting my semester film starting in the next few days.

But like I said, once it becomes CONCRETE and OFFICIAL, you bet I'll be chanting and yelling from the top of my lungs so loud you can hear where you're at!

As for the Dax Shepard, first time I'm hearing about it.[/quote]

oh, okay. probably not then. there've been some articles floating around about it:

AP- Variety.

Carsey-Werner Films and Strike Entertainment are facing jail time, partnering on buddy comedy "You Are Going to Prison."
Bob OdenkirkBob Odenkirk will direct Dax ShepardDax Shepard and Will Arnett in the tale of a career criminal and an entitled rich guy stuck together in a maximum-security prison cell.

Team of Robert Ben GarantRobert Ben Garant and Thomas LennonThomas Lennon ("The Pacifier") along with Michael Patrick Jann ("Drop Dead Gorgeous""Drop Dead Gorgeous") penned the script.

CW Films will finance the project, which has been in development by Strike principal Marc AbrahamMarc Abraham for more than seven years after Paul YoungPaul Young optioned the rights to James Hogshire's irreverent how-to book about avoiding prison and minimizing the problems if incarcerated. Principal photography is set to begin later this month at Joliet Prison near Chicago.

Pic will be produced by Abraham, Young and CW Films prexyprexy Matt BerensonMatt Berenson. Marcy CarseyMarcy Carsey, Tom WernerTom Werner, Caryn MandabachCaryn Mandabach and Armyan BernsteinArmyan Bernstein exec produce.

"After trying for a while, I have finally succeeded in going to prison," Abraham quipped. "Prison" appeals to "the holy grail of demographics -- young males and, in this case, young demented males."

"Prison" is the first greenlit project to emerge from the CW Films banner. SitcomSitcom specialists Carsey, Werner and Mandabach formed the shingleshingle in late 2002 and signed a three-year first-lookfirst-look deal with Paramount to produce comedies via split financing; Mandabach departed from the partnership last year.

Strike's deal is at Universal. Abraham's producing credits include "Spy Game," "Bring It On""Bring It On" and "The Rundown."

All I'm hoping for now is this project doesn't cause Arnett to drop out of the other project due to timing. That would suck!
