Josh Duhamel To Star In "What's He Got?
I am sure my wife April wishes she had Josh Duhamel also. Sorry babe. Proud to support a local guy, well sorta of he did live in Sacramento,Ca. for awhile.
Looks like Disney is willing to spend money on a pitch for a movie starring Josh Duhamel and Directed by Walt Becker
Disney spent $900,000 against $1.6 million for "What's He Got?," a pitch by Kevin Bisch (“Hitch”) that has Josh Duhamel attached to star, and Walt Becker attached to direct. Becker will produce with Andrew Panay and Category 5's Brian Sher.
The pitch was described as a high concept romantic comedy. Not surprising that Disney moved aggressively, given that Becker has a deal at the studio, where he has directed the “Wild Hog,” “Old Dogs,” and is working on the “Wild Hogs” sequel.
What is emerging here is an interesting paradigm. Several studios have put the word out that they aren’t going to be spending on anything but pictures for 2010 and 2011 slates. But if a big opportunity comes along, they will open up the coffers. Disney production chief Oren Aviv and exec veep Kristin Burr moved quickly to land the property.
