A terrifying announcement to most I’m sure, Marlon Wayans should not be in charge of anything, but someone has decided to do just that. Having featured in a number of his brother Keenan Ivory Wayans dreadful atrocities, (the lowest being LITTLE MAN surely), Marlon will co-direct (alongside Mike Tiddes) a spoof of the ‘found footage’ genre. Shooting on SMART ASS has just gotten under-way with Essence Atkins set to headline.
It seems an eternity since Wayans gave a brilliant performance as heroin addict Tyrone, in Darren Aronofsky’s REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Roles in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, NORBIT and DANCE FLICK have become painful to watch but hits with the SCARY MOVIE franchise and WHITE CHICKS have become critic-proof at the box-office, going on the gross millions. Still for us men, the aforementioned unfunny disasters are the closest some of us have come to experience the pain of childbirth.
