Breckin Meyer Writing Superguys: “Ocean’s Eleven Set At Comic-Con”

Posted on Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Road Trip star Breckin Meyer hopes to make the transition to screenwriting, and is now working on a screenplay titled Superguys, based on a story by Harry Elfont & Deb Kaplan (the team that brought us Can’t Hardly Wait and A Very Brady Sequel). According to Production Weekly, the concept is described as “Ocean’s 11 with idiots set at Comic-Con”.

It would be easy to write off Meyer, but his script work on the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken earns him a spot in the “Lets See What He Can Do” box. And I’m sure if the project gets off the ground, Breckin’s best friend and Robot Chick creator Seth Green would likely have some involvement. Will the plot will involve a bunch of geeks sneaking into San Diego Comic Con to steal some extremely valuable and sought after geek idol? If so, it sounds to me like a reworking of Fanboys but with an open arena to play with all the comic book fanboy tics and not just Star Wars/Star Trek.

  • This will probably be released before Fanboys.
  • It would be nice to see a new take on the 'heist' films, after all I've had enough of 'Ocean' remakes. Once was fine, twice was pushing it and after the third time I just have up.
  • justin
    hey, i thought he was funny in rat race, thats probably where he met seth green
  • I will always have a soft spot for Breckin Meyer, he was big in the 1990s, such as CLUELESS and BOY MEETS WORLD, and yes, RAT RACE.

    sigh, I miss the 90s.
  • what country? fanboys been out in the states for a couple of weeks already.
  • i enjoyed 13, and both 11's. it's just too bad 12 was crap.
  • this will be a fun watch. they're going to have to be careful that the movie doesn't give the same feel as fanboys.

    I wonder if he'll pick to set the film in the past, like Comic Con 2004 or something like that.
  • sounds promising, im a sucker for any nerdfest of a movie like this.

    also having been to comic-con the familiar locale always adds to the fun
  • only in about 3 theaters
  • this will be a fun watch. they're going to have to be careful that the movie doesn't give the same feel as fanboys.
