Legendary comedian Bill Murray is now attached to the Black List dramedy St. Vincent de Van Nuys.
There's no deal yet, but apparently he's in some serious negotiations to topline for 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment.
At this moment we know that Ted Melfi, who wrote the whole thing, will direct the project as well.
First of all let us remind you that Melfi's script appeared on the 2011 Black List where it earned the same number of votes as Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.
At one moment even Jack Nicholson was attached to the project, but if you ask me – I have nothing against Murray's involvement. Especially because we're all familiar with this story…
The movie will center on a 12-year old boy who, in the wake of his parents' divorce, forms an unlikely friendship with the misanthropic retiree living next door.
If negotiations with Murray work out, he will come on board to star as that war veteran whose life mainly consists of drinking, gambling and prostitutes, the elder soon becomes an unlikely mentor.
So yes, give Murray the damn role, so we could continue with St. Vincent de Van Nuys updates!Bill Murray to Star in ST. VINCENT DE VAN NUYS
