I’ve been handling the Morning Deal Report duties here for a few months now, and aside from all the comic book adaptations and unnecessary sequels, there’s one thing that’s been bugging me: Where are the monkey movies? Fortunately, Dark Horse Films has heard the call and answered with War Monkeys. “The horror comedy follows two janitors who, during a Christmas holiday, get trapped in an underground research facility after accidentally unleashing military-trained Rhesus monkeys,” per The Hollywood Reporter. Now that’s my idea of a Christmas movie.
Speaking of which, I was saddened to learn that King of Kong director Seth Gordon is the fiend behind Four Christmases, the ubiquitous trailer for which I may never be able to scrub from my brain. Perhaps he can make it up to me with Suicide Squad, “which follows a desperate con man, out on the latest of many paroles, as he recruits a crew of amateur criminals to rip off the Kentucky Derby,” THR reports.
The World’s Most Annoying Man is on the way. According to Variety, Disney will produce the comedy about “a man who is forced to travel cross-country with his annoying brother in order to get to his own wedding.”
