How has it taken this long for Jeremy Piven to become a leading man? It’s criminal, I tell ya! We at CHUD have been following the Piv’s career for years, as he was always a great character actor and sidekick, but it was Entourage that seemed to prove to people what we knew all along – this guy’s a star.
I sort of wish he was getting his headlining role in a movie that hadn’t once carried the title Furry Vengeance, though. Unless that movie was about a specific subset of perverts. This movie isn’t, though; it’s about a real estate developer who tries to build on a pristine forest and finds the wildlife taking their revenge. Hey, Paul Giamatti emerged unscathed from Big Fat Liar, so maybe Piv’s Sideways is still ahead of him.
The film, which now has no title, is being set up at New Line. I just hope that this film in no way interferes with us finding out the eventual fate of Ari Gold…
