"Becky's Driving School"

Welcome to Worcester! Home to "Becky's Driving School", the wildest driving school in America. Taught by none other than Becky Sullivan, the cigarette smoking, foul mouthed granny who'll kill you if you ever lay a finger on her grandchildren. Local producer Chris Petit (Skinheads in Love) has just optioned the rights for the true story of Becky and her driving school. Director Dirk Craft (Nip/Tuck) is attached to helm the feature which is currently in development. The underdog comedy centers on Becky Sullivan, the unlikely hero, who is able to overcome incredible odds, and save her driving school from getting shut down. Becky's Driving School came under scrutiny last year after parents complained that Becky's drivers ed was more like sex ed or AA meetings.

Steve Carrel Finds His Way Back To Mass

Mass native Steve Carrel is coming back home to shoot his latest dramatic comedy "The Way, Way Back"! This will be Carrel's first film in the Bay State. He's had several films slated for Massachusetts, "Missing Links" and "Get Smart 2", which never ended up going into production. "The Way, Way Back" follows a teenage boy who, over the course of a summer vacation, strikes up a friendship that gives him the courage to stand up to his carousing, volatile, boozing stepfather and reconnect with his mother. The film co-stars Toni Collette (United States of Tara) and will begin production on the 25th of June.

Shooting is rumored to take place in Carrel's hometown of Marshfield. Producers are currently hiring local crew members. Break a leg!

Gerard Butler is set to star in the diamond heist flick "Brilliant" shooting in Boston. The story follows master thief and rich playboy Charlie Beaumont as he recruits a beautiful young cat burglar to help him steal $1 billion dollars worth of diamonds in a daring heist. However, the duo's relationship is fraught with twists and turns. Filming was originally slated for a May start but has since been pushed back to later this year.

Skinheads in Love

Extremely loud and incredibly gross... That's what to expect from the upcoming film "Skinheads in Love". NIP/TUCK director, Dirk Craft, is attached to shoot the punk rock sex comedy in town this April! Boston producer Chris Petit penned the script which follows the sexual misadventures of two head shaved NYC rockers in the early 90's. The movie is based on the comic book by acclaimed writer/artist Bob Fingerman who has worked with Penthouse, Cracked, and High Times. Local starlet Evalena Marie (Steve Niles' Remains) has been cast as a lead in the film.
