Scoot On Into The Light

.

My night has really taken a nose-dive emotionally-speaking after reading the news that the Ziegfeld, my favorite movie theater here in New York City, will be closing soon, so let's post some happier thoughts - Jody Hill, the very funny writer-director behind Eastbound & Down and Observe & Report, is setting up his new movie! It's called The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter (great title) and it will star Danny McBride (of course), Josh Brolin, and my beloved Scoot McNairy. Deadline says it "follows a sixth-grade boy who is supposed to be bonding with his father on a hunting trip, but is far from interested." They're also reporting Scoot's signed on to star opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie called 478 - those two should make for quite the contrast. Read about that at the same link.
