I'm working on a remake of Steven Spielberg's classic ET. We've renamed it "PE" to reflect changes in the script. In our version, young Elliot finds a PE teacher hiding in his shed, and lures him into his bedroom with a trail of nuts.
The pair get into terrible scrapes together, but the PE teacher gets ill and is taken away by the Government. He escapes of course, and the movie ends with the teacher leaving the country to live with his Russian grandfather.

I'm working on a biopic of British wrestling legend Big Daddy, and I've signed Eddie Murphy in the lead role.
Once he's in the padded suit, Murphy is transformed into the fat, charismatic wrestler. He's even got Big Daddy's famous catchphrase - "No respect" - nailed down perfectly. We have a shortlist of actors to play the role of Big Daddy's arch-enemy, Giant Haystacks. The most likely candidate is Harrison Ford, though Leonardo di Caprio has also read for the role.
