* Thankfully, for Paul Haggis next film he won't be anywhere near the typewriter, so any salient points that need to be made won't be spelled out in excruciating detail. He'll direct Paris, a political thriller with a script by Dawn Kuisma. Yeah, I don't know who that is, either. No word on the plot just yet, but certainly it can't be worse than Haggis' last flick, The Next Three Days. Can it? [THR]
* In what turned out to be the best year for R-rated comedies ever, Horrible Bosses turned out to be a surprising hit. The Seth Gordon-directed comedy about three friends who decide to kill their bosses pulled in over $200M, and talk of a sequel was quick to follow. THR reports that New Line has brought back writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, although plot details are unclear at this point. Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, and Charlie Day are all expected to return, and hopefully so will Jennifer Aniston and her unmentionables. Gordon isn't confirmed yet, although New Line definitely wants him back in the director's chair.
* Jay Baruchel, Kurt Russell, and Matt Dillon will star in The Black Marks, a heist comedy written/directed by Jonathan Sobol. Nope, don't know him. Russell, in what sounds like a riff on his Stuntman Mike role in Death Proof, will play a motorcycle stuntman and former art thief who gets pulled into one more con....which of course goes disastrously wrong. Filming should begin shortly, as Russell has Django Unchained on the horizon, and Dillion has his Linda Lovelace biopic.
