Studio Warner has paid a tidy sum to the screenwriter of romantic comedy "Crazy, Stupid Love" Dan Fogelman for the idea for the movie. The main character - a politician whom can play Tom Cruise. Actor is assigned to the project at an early stage.
Cruz was playing politics – for instance the drama of Robert Redford's "Lions for Lambs." In not having a long name on a script by Fogelman hero, despite his high office, implicated in the scandal. Trying to lick the wounds and improve the reputation, character is sent back to his hometown, where he will face the past.
Given the studios fought for the idea of the writer, the story at least is standing. Fox, Paramount and MGM have also sought to acquire the project, but it went to Warner, who paid two million dollars.
Dan Fogelman - one of the writers' of animated film "Tangled". On his account is a comedy "Crazy, stupid love", by the way, filmed at Warner. Film starring Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling will be released in late September. In addition, according to the scenario of Fogelman this year was running comedy "My mother’s curse", where Barbra Streisand plays the mother of Seth Rogen.
Given that all previous projects of Fogelman have an explicit comedy coloring, film with Cruise is unlikely to be an exception.
