Heat Vision:
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: The Movie?
Producers Scott Glassgold and Raymond Brothers of IAM Entertainment have closed a deal for rights to develop a film centering on the department store’s annual parade in New York.
“We’re aiming to make a four-quadrant, family-friendly film somewhere in that Night At The Museum, Elf sweet spot,” Glassgold says.
THR Heat Vision:
Paramount is making a play on a package that includes Shia LaBeouf, Robert De Niro and director D.J. Caruso.
The studio is picking up Spy’s Kid, a Catch Me If You Can-style story set in the world of espionage with LaBeouf and De Niro attached to play a son-father spy duo under Caruso's direction. The helmer worked with LaBeouf on the actor's breakout hit Disturbia as well as Eagle Eye.
Raymond Brothers and Scott Glassgold of IAM Entertainment are on board to produce.
i have a feeling this wont work unless it is a light action more on comedy type of film. de niro is good in a solid drama like godfather or solid comedy like meet the parents..not much in betweeners, unlike shia who is the exact opposite he cannot immerse himself in purely on comedy because it looks corny and he is not yet that developed in dramatic scenes, but is notably an actor that can excel on right projects, i hope the movie will showcase that they compliment each other if ever this project happens.
