Cusack and Peet Have a Favorite "Martian"
Described by The Hollywood Reporter as "a cross between E.T. and Parenthood" is the upcoming family film "The Martian Child." John Cusack ("High Fidelity"
and Amanda Peet ("The Whole Nine Yards" are set to play the lead roles, and Menno Meyjes ("Max" will be in the director's chair. First-time feature screenwriters Jonathan Tolins and Seth Bass will be adapting David Gerrold's short story. Plus Joan Cusack's set to play the sister of John's character ... which is great because they really are siblings, and because Joan's usually pretty hilarious.

on Apr 20 2005 11:24 PM I didn't say remake, I said sequel. But either would be bad. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 21 2005 12:48 AM I thought exactly the same when I read the caption of this piece of news. Is this based on a sci-fi short story ? I'll do my research... (Reply to this) |
