Neighbors director Nick Stoller will direct, co-write and co-produce under his Global Solutions banners with Judd Apatow’s Apatow Productions banner. Comedy will center around two men who have commitment problems and are attempting a relationship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDerby Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hell yeah! I hope this does a shi* ton at the box office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Didn't another major studio also pick up the film rights to a novel about two boys who fall in love recently? Love, Simon's impact is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisianaArkansasGeorgia Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) What makes me happy is that Eichner is neither a teenager nor a heartthrob, which is refreshing because every single time they attempt these gay romantic films, they usually star teens or beautiful teens or both. I think that, despite his playing horribly unappealing characters in both Billy on the Street and Difficult People, his likeability shines through. I could see him being a gay romcom lead. Like Chimunky, I also wish this makes a shit ton at the box office, but it is still a romance starring two men. It is going to be a hard sell for mainstream America anyway. Will this get a wide release or a platform to build buzz or what? Edited February 6, 2019 by LouisianaArkansasGeorgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Probably the last movie I expected to take over MI7's vacated spot but on the other hand this pretty much guarantees a TIFF premiere now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
