Greg Mottola’s Adventureland is scheduled to hit theaters later this Summer, but everyone is wondering what the SuperBad director might be doing next. Mottola revealed at a Tribeca Film Festival sponsored Apple Store event that he’s writing a script with Bill Hader (who played a cop in SuperBad and is the owner of the amusement park in Adventureland).
“We’re writing a comedy about a doorman who, while watching all the comings and goings in his building, figures out that one of his tenants is the victim of a scam. And no one believes him, and no one cares,” Mottola explained. “So it’s basically a parody of vigilante movies. He’s going to right a wrong. He’s a man against the system, a lone wolf trying to fight crime. And we are writing it kind of as a parody of movies like Get Carter or Point Blank, with a little bit of Bourne Identity… in there. The big question right now is whether of not Bill will have a mustache. That’s what we spend most of our days trying to figure out.”

This concept should be shown the door.

i think it sounds promising, if they do it right. it would be more funny if hader plays an older guy, and there is a scene where he kicks the shit out of someone bourne style. it would be more funny if the person he kicks the shit out of was someone insignificant that he didnt need to beat up.

@ Big Daddy
I think it would be funny if someone beat the shit out of Bill Hader, and then threw Greg Mottola into a giant vat of Rogaine.
