In a project that immediately send a chill down our spine, Fox has acquired the rights to Jane Heller’s chick-lit novel an “Ex To Grind” with Cameron Diaz and Benicio Del Toro (yes, really) attached to star.
In the film, Del Toro would “play a star athlete who for years supports the dreams of his waitress wife (Diaz). Cut to several years later. His career is cut short by injury, he has has morphed into a beer-swilling couch potato while she has become a big success in business. She plans to divorce him and is horrified to discover she will have to pay alimony to maintain the slovenly lifestyle that led her to dump him. She conspires to find him a new wife to get herself off the hook but when her replacement restores the man she fell for, the ex wants him back.” Blech.
The project, unbelievably, is being produced the usually reliable Laura Bickford (“Traffic,” “Che,” “Duplicity”) and perhaps even more unlikely is Del Toro’s involvement. We sincerely hope someone sits him down, plays him a tape of “Excess Baggage” and convinces him to walk away from this thing.
You think Del Toros involvement in this is bad? What about his newest project selling ice-cream – "Magnum Gold"
