It will star Sandler and Phoenix as half-brothers who share a highly questionable fetish for Japanese culture and enter into an age-gap romantic triangle with a much younger woman.

Yeah, with De Luca out... PTA should beg Focus again lol

Anyway, I had the idea a long time ago about a Bad News Bears riff. Joaquin or Reilly for the coach. Throw in Maya as a parent. He has another excuse for his kids.

This kind of sucks. LP's 32 million dollars on a 40 million dollar budget in a  "pandemic box office" was considered a win, but I don't think MGM is going to care without De Luca.

PTA's elliptical, eccentric filmmaking style + baseball = guaranteed box office dynamite over here in the UK.

Probably not. There was a Warner exec that refused to give PTA/Maya Rudolph free tickets to see Fury Road when he found out that they were on a guest list and had them removed.

I remember hearing about that. Clearly he had some enemies over there. Depends if they are still there.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there are probably a lot of petty people in Hollywood.
