So a few months ago the writer of last year’s The Backup Plan (non-starter rom-com starring J.Lo) managed to sell a script called Sex Tape for big money to Sony. Sounding a lot like another Date Night type comedy to work as a vehicle for another pair of comedians, the premise is simply that a married couple tries to jumpstart their sex life with a night at a hotel making a tape of themselves (fuckin’). Come morning the tape is missing and they must adventure to find it.
Scratch Date Night, perhaps this is more like a Dude, Where’s My Fuck Vid?.
So NOW the news is that if you didn’t get enough Jason Segel penis from Forgetting Sarah Marshall (a thirst The Muppets is unlikely to quench since Peter Jackson wasn’t involved), then you may be in luck because it is he and Reese Witherspoon that Sony is all hot and bothered to see fill out the leads.
The duo will simply be in talks at this point, but I’d expect Segel to sing since it’s his buddy Nick Stoller that is most likely going to end up behind the camera. Witherspoon will probably sign because why wouldn’t she?
So here’s to someone cashing in on what is undoubtedly a decidedly tame city adventure riding on an eye-catching title (that may well change between now and release anyway).
