Problem Child TV Rebooted Headed To NBC

By
Here is news of another film being rebooted into a Television show.

NBC is looking for a problem child.

The network has handed out a script commitment for a remake of 1990 feature film Problem Child, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

From writer Scot Armstrong (The Hangover II, Old School), the half-hour single-camera comedy is based on the John Ritter pic of the same name and centers on every parent's worst nightmare: a problem child. Peter Traugott and Rachel Kaplan will executive produce alongside Armstrong via their Universal Television-based TBD Productions.

The original movie starred Ritter and Amy Yasbeck as a couple who adopt problem child Junior (played by Michael Oliver), a prankster who previously had been adopted and brought back to the orphanage 30 times. Gilbert Gottfried and Michael Richards co-starred in the Universal Pictures feature that was written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and produced by Imagine Entertainment's Robert Simonds, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. The movie spawned spinoffs in 1991 and 1995 and an animated series that aired on USA Network for two seasons in 1993 and 1994. (Hulu currently has the first 13 episodes.)

For Traugott and Kaplan, Problem Child marks their first sale of the season. Last year, Traugott's TBD banner had three projects go to pilot: ABC's Manhattan Love Story, which went to series; NBC's Life Saver; and ABC's Exposed. Their credits also include former series Do No Harm, Ringer and Samantha Who.

This marks the second year in a row that NBC has looked to a Universal feature for comedy. Last year, the network went to pilot on a remake of Tom Hanks and Shelley Long's The Money Pit, and ultimately pushed the multicamera comedy to the upcoming 2015-16 pilot season.

Problem Child comes as family comedies continue to be in high demand this development season: ABC is moving forward with its Chevy Chase-Beverly D'Angelo comedy; NBC has a shared housing family entry from Parenthood's Jason Katims; Sony Pictures Television is shopping a spinoff of 1990s staple Married … With Children; and Netflix is eyeing a follow-up to Full House; among other projects.

Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty.

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
