Coming soon to a development hell near you: Hooligans (or whatever they’ll call it when it’s changed two or three times), the touching story of “A wrongfully expelled Harvard undergrad [who] moves to London and makes friends with a man who introduces him to the violent underworld of football hooliganism.”
Finally, something we can all relate to. Who wants to take bets that the school becomes something generic like “Worthington College,” London becomes Brooklyn, the sport becomes boxing, the hooligans become wizened older Black men, and the undergrad becomes Amanda Peet. Oh, and that the script becomes a paper towel when some D-girl spills her chai latte in her cubicle.
Good luck with the movie, fellas.
