Josh Heald’s (“AYCE” writer) next movie starts production
(From io9) The Hollywood Reporter has an article about the start of production on Hot Tub Time Machine. HTTM was written by Josh Heald, who also wrote the screenplay for All You Can Eat, a movie set in the world of competitive eating. Production of All You Can Eat appears to currently be on hiatus.
io9 notes similarities between Hot Tub Time Machine and a previous work:
Sadly, this won’t be the greatest time traveling tub movie of all time.
That honor belongs to College Humor’s series Clock Suckers, which is about a group of friends that link a Simon Says toy to a bath tub, which allows them to travel in time. It’s an animated short (with a lot of bad language), in which our heroes go back and mess with Al Capone, Elvis and other historical figures.
The rights to All You Can Eat are now controlled by Rogue Pictures, which made the ping pong comedy Balls of Fury and the direct to video American Pie sequels. The website for Rogue Pictures has not been updated since 2004.
