How To Lose A Guy Gets A Sequel

If you were one of the millions of people who fell in love with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in How to
Lose a Guy in 10 Days, then I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised to hear they are now making a sequel.
With the first film grossing an astonishing $177 million worldwide, who can blame them for wanting to go another
round?
Scribes Keith Merryman and David A. Newman have been tapped to write How To Lose It All for Paramount Pictures and, based on how well the original did, I'm betting these guys won't lose much... assuming Matt and Kate jump onboard. There's no word on whether the two stars will reprise their roles for the sequel, though I imagine we'll know soon seeing as the script will have to be written to either include their characters or focus on an entirely different couple. Currently, Merryman and Newman have Jerry Zucker attached to direct their script, Friends with Benefits, and recently re-wrote Maid of Dishonor for Warners.

I guess you can't go wrong underestimating the American movie-watching public. When I saw that movie on cable I was ready to turn it off a quarter of the way through, but pushed myself to watch the whole thing since I knew there had to be a reason that it sold so many tickets. From a plot that didn't make sense to a just plain boring experience, I can't see why anyone liked it.
