De Niro Seeks Science-Oriented Film Scripts

Posted by timothy on from the brotha-you-are-goin'-down dept.

farrellj writes "According to this CBC story it seems that De Niro is looking for the next 'A Beautiful Mind, Memento or Good Will Hunting.' The script must have a scientist, mathematician or engineer as the lead charactor...And a finished script with synopsis and writer's resume must be in by Nov. 1. Submission info in the CBC story above. Now, who is writing the 'Cowboy Neal saves the world' script? "

  1. This sounds like a bad idea... by Chagatai · · Score: 5, Funny
    I mean, De Niro as a mathematician? It could take the title of "Analyze This" to a whole new level. But, I suppose if he was in the next Good Will Hunting, he could take Robin Williams' place. That way, instead of just pinning Matt Damon to the wall after talking ill about his dead wife, he'd go all mafioso and have Vinni bust some kneecaps. "That cool with you, chief?"

    I thought there were plenty of Script K1dd13z on Slashdot. There has to be some bash scripter... oh wait. Nevermind.

  4. Alan Turing by x+mani+x · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Read this brief summary about Alan Turing's life.

    A serious, well written script documenting his incredible, tragic life would make A Beautiful Mind seem about as powerful as Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (not to knock Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - great movie, it's just no tour de force).

  5. Mis-spelling by GuyMannDude · · Score: 5, Funny

    All movies, even light-hearted comic romances, should have Joe Peschi beaten severely and buried alive.

    You mis-spelled his name. It's P-a-u-l-y S-h-o-r-e.
