DYN-O-MITE!!!
They are making Good Times into a feature film.
That’s right. Scott Rudin, producer of Oscar gems like Money Ball and The Social Network, is turning the classic sitcom Good Times into a feature film.
Phil Johnston, who wrote Wreck It Ralph, has signed on to help Rudin with the screenplay, and with all these major cats involved, this could actually be a good one.
Deadline reports:
While Rudin is selective about the remakes with which he becomes involved – Manchurian Candidate, Shaft and Sabrina – I think this has a lot of potential. The series, which aired on CBS from 1974-79, was one in a series of socially aware Norman Lear-generated sitcoms that pushed the envelope by mixing comedy with topicality and hot-button issues.
So what do you think? Is this Dyn-o-mite or Damn, Damn, Damn?
