James Marsden Has a Wicked 'Sex Drive'

How far would you go to shack up with someone you met on the internet? Though it's kind of embarrassing to admit (and my fellow Cinematical writers will torture me for this), back in college during my sophomore year I flew all the way to Utah to meet up with a girl I met online. Three months of chatting through a computer screen? Check. Three months of talking on the phone? Check. Pictures? Check. But when I finally went all the way out there, I learned that she and Utah were very different from anything I'd ever experienced in New York. Suffice it to say, after six days of shooting guns, visiting square-dancing clubs, feeding rats to snakes and witnessing more than one fight in a Denny's parking lot, I left Utah and never spoke to her again. But anyway ....

... The Hollywood Reporter tells us Josh Zuckerman (Feast), Amanda Crew and James Marsden will star in Sean Anders' teen sex comedy Sex Drive. The concept? "... an unlucky in love teen meets a girl on the internet who sends him the message "U Drive All the Way Here 4 Me ... I'll Go All the Way with U." Guess what happens next? Yup, our teen, named Ian (Zuckerman), convinces his friends to drive from Chicago to Knoxville so that he can lose his virginity to this girl with a dazzling vocabulary. If Marsden signs on (he's still in talks), he'd be playing Ian's brother. Yeah, so it's like Road Trip meets ... Dateline's To Catch a Predator series? Sweet! Right now it looks like filming will begin by the end of the year off a screenplay written by Anders and John Morris (who's also producing). So, would you drive half-way across the country for that?
