"The Weinstein Co.'s Dimension Films has set Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite") to star in "School for Scoundrels," a remake of the 1960 British comedy reports Variety.
Heder plays a down-on-his-luck meter reader who enrolls in a confidence-building class so he can win the love of his dream girl. The class turns out to be something quite different once it becomes clear to the young man that his professor (Thornton) has set his sights on the same woman.
Todd Phillips, who wrote the script with Scot Armstrong, will direct. The comedy will shoot in New York and L.A. in October for release next spring.
Thanks to 'Andrew'.
