‘Hogan’s Heroes’ Modern Day Reboot in the Works from Series Co-Creator Al Ruddy and EPs Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill

Certainly, there’s no question that remake/reboot fatigue has set in and the prospect of just mining old IPs to cash in on nostalgia is getting tiresome.

That being said, having the seemingly unstoppable team of Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill (responsible for most of McBride’s projects) attached in some capacity gives us some hope for a rebooted, modern day version Hogan’s Heroes from series co-creator Al Ruddy. We’ll be very curious to see the level of involvement they’ll have with this project (it’s still in its very early stages) that will see the descendants of the original characters going on a treasure hunt.

Your mind is already imagining how a McBride type character would fit into this, right?

Seeso Orders a ‘Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson’ Behind The Scenes Series from Paul Reiser and David Steven Simon

Called “There’s Johnny!”, one will probably wonder how it stacks up next to The Larry Sanders Show.

Paul Reiser and David Steven Simon who worked together on Mad About You are teaming up again to write a show that focuses on what happened with the legendary Johnny Carson behind the scenes of his run at The Tonight Show.

David Gordon Green, who Reiser works with on Red Oaks, is set to produce with both Paul and Simon and might bring some very intriguing comedic flavor to this show.

We’ll find out what this ends up being on 2017 when it starts streaming on Seeso.

HBO Signs an Overall Deal with Danny McBride, Jody Hill, David Gordon Green and Brandon James AKA Rough House Pictures

Based off Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals, we’d say that’s a pretty smart move. 

Rough House Pictures, the production company that Danny McBride, Jody Hill, David Gordon Green, and Brandon James run in order to make the two much lauded comedy series, is now getting a bigger playground to play with at HBO than they ever have before.

This two year deal will have the Rough House team develop series exclusively for HBO. With that in mind, we have a good feeling about HBO comedy through the rest of this decade.

Danny McBride and Walton Goggins Make Their Debut as Two of the Most Conniving “Vice Principals” Ever Tonight

10:30PM on HBO.

The series premiere of Vice Principals is tonight on HBO and, having gotten to see a sneak preview of the first two episodes, we’ll say that Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and David Gordon Green probably exceed whatever expectations you have for the series. 

All of the unapologetic buffoonery from Eastbound and Down comes to the setting of a high school, but what makes the series especially exciting is that you know that it’s only going to last 18 episodes. Because of that, there’s an even juicier tension through the catastrophic shenanigans between McBride and Goggins trying to become the lone principal as their days are numbered.

Again, watch it at 10:30PM tonight.

Amazon’s latest comedy series will be Red Oaks from director David Gordon Green (Eastbound and Down) and writers Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs following a young man played by Craig Roberts teaching tennis to old, rich folks at a country club, set in the 1980s.

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

After their latest user rated pilot season, Amazon has opted to take the Steven Soderbergh/David Gordon Green comedy pilot Red Oaks to series. This marks a streak for Soderbergh who has been gaining critical momentum for the Cinemax series he directs, The Knick.

Also, Whit Stillman’s The Cosmopolitans has received an order for an additional scripts, but whether they will go to series too has yet to be determined.

It’s clear that Amazon has built up plenty of its own momentum with Jill Soloway‘s Transparent and we’ll see if they can keep that going when Red Oaks and possibly The Cosmopolitans release their first season some time next year.

David Gordon Green, Sandra Bullock, and Our Brand Is Crisis, a documentary about American political tactics in South America are all combining for a film adaptation of that very same documentary. 

It’ll be a political dramedy and it’s anything like 2012’s No with Gael García Bernal that focused on the very same topic in Chile, then we can’t wait for this to make an awards run.

The entire story behind David Gordon Green‘s intriguing and promising Prince Avalanche is still a little mysterious with how a literal road comedy with Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch will work.

Still, this latest trailer gives a little more of an idea of what, again, could be really great, almost like a loosely tangential sequel of Kings of Summer (which you should go see if you haven’t).

Trailer for David Gordon Green’s ‘Prince Avalanche’ w/Paul Rudd & Emile Hirsch Looks Delightful

After a run at Sundance, the David Gordon Green film ’Prince Avalanche’ gets a trailer. There’s not much revealed, though that is OK as Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch seem to get goofy in the woods while painting roads in their spare time (or maybe it’s the other way around).

Either way, it looks like it could be wonderful based off this trailer.
