BAD SANTA Writers Working on THE BAD NEWS BEARS Remake for Billy Bob...
May 12th, 2004
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the writers responsible for Billy Bob Thornton's recent hit, "Bad Santa," in which Thornton played a bad department store Santa, have been tapped to write the script for the actor's next project: a "The Bad News Bears" remake. Thornton will star in the remake of the 1976 film in which Walter Matthau played the coach of a Little League team of misfits that he turns into a winner.
Ficarra and Requa reportedly are already at work on the screenplay in a deal potentially worth $1.75 million if the film is produced.
"I thought it was a great idea for Billy to do the Matthau character," said producer Geyer Kosinski.
