Heather Graham is an 'Ex-terminator'
Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Independent, Casting, Cinematical Indie
You know, they say that you shouldn't go into business with family and friends. Yet many people still do, and many people also begin to take the advice to heart sooner or later. But what about people you meet in a support group? That sounds totally rational, doesn't it? Let's take it a bit further -- imagine you go into business with strangers you know all have anger issues. It sounds like hell in real life, but may make for a funny film on the big screen.Variety reports that Heather Graham, Jennifer Coolidge, Matthew Settle (the cool art dad from Gossip Girl), and Amber Heard have signed on to star in a new black dramedy called Ex-terminators, which was written by Suzanne Weinert, and will be the feature directorial debut for Scrubs helmer John Inwood. So yes, this film will focus on "three women who meet in an anger-management therapy group and decide to form a traditional business using very untraditional methods."
This is feeling like one of those projects that could very easily be good, and just as easily be stereotypical and over-the-top bad. Whichever it ends up being, I imagine it will have a healthy dose of quirk involved, considering all the time Inwood has spent on Scrubs. Production began last week in Austin.

This is feeling like another article by Monika that could be
good, but could just as easily be cynical and typical of many Cinematical writers. Whichever it ends up being, I imagine it will have a healthy dose of pointless pondering by someone not remotely associated with the film industry,
considering all the time they spend coming up with personal quips.
While the news presented here is appreciated, frequently the commentary waivers between amateur hour jabs and good old fashioned snobbery (see: Eugene Novikov's recent post on how "most knowledgeable people think 'Wanted' looks like a piece of junk" -- lol sorry Eugene, is that you?).
If only Weinberg and Davis could write the majority of the
pieces here, this site would rise to an entirely new level.
Sadly, that is not the case.

Funny, I've always felt if everyone left the majority of the commenting to me that would also lead to an exponential increase in this site's quality.
