Wes Anderson is not MY BEST FRIEND

Matt here€ I've yet to make it to the end of any film directed by Wes Anderson but I know he has his fans, so this is for you...

Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment has set Wes Anderson to write "My Best Friend," a remake of the 2006 Patrice Leconte-directed French comedy "Mon meilleur ami." Anderson is also eying the project as a directing vehicle.

The French pic starred Daniel Auteuil as a cranky antiques dealer who learns at a dinner with his closest acquaintances that none of them really like him because of his harsh manner and selfishness. When his business partner bets him a valuable vase that he can€™t produce a best friend, the dealer tries to get an amiable cab driver to pose as his buddy.

Says Variety. I've just watched the trailer for the original movie over at Apple who still have it on their server, and it looks really fun.

Great little concept for a movie, this could have easily been transformed into a more mainstream style Hollywood comedy, a Steve Carell starring vehicle perhaps but with Anderson that's not what we are going to get. I've just ordered this movie from Amazon, I love stumbling across delicious looking foreign movies I had previously never heard of. If it's any good, I will probably review it. Discuss: Why can't Matt grasp the humor of Wes Anderson. Why do I find his movies among the dullest and most pointless cinema has ever produced?
