"I Love You Philip Morris" Get's Release Dates (Second Guessing Assholes)

Glenn Ficarra & John Requa are the guys responsible for helming (directing) and writing what looks to be from the trailer embedded below, everything that Catch Me If You Can was, and so much more. It's all based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell.



The film was adapted from I Love You Phillip Morris: A True Story of Life, Love, and Prison Breaks by Steve McVicker. Summed up in a sentence, this is a in-and-out-of-prison comedy starring Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey as gay lovers. Jim Carrey's character, Steven Jay Russell, is an expert con-man, dubbed "Houdini" and "King Con". In the course of their relationship, he escaped prison 4x before finally receiving a 144-year jail sentence in a max security prison. But wait! There's more!

A Review: The Ghost Writer, Hereyee Hereyee Polanski

Roman Polanski's new political drama about a ghost writer brought in to finish a memoir by an ex-prime minister starts off soft, taking it's time to massage you up, but eventually you find yourself utterly engaged without ever realizing it, and then the movie ends. 
Bravo Roman.
