• Awesome—Joby’s a huge talent and really good guy. Loved ARMY OF THE DEAD. Good for him!

• still don’t understand open road’s model. is it all genre films with low to midsized budgets? with ortenberg behind them, is this like a new lionsgate? plot sounds like my kind of jam though.

• Is this sentence a “Jaws meets Die Hard” joke:

  QED chief Bill Block says it “recalls great films like Three Days Of The Condor and Marathon Man and is built on a fantastic story in the vein of The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure, and will appeal to a broad global audience.”

• Wait, was this originally THE PUZZLE MAN, the spec Joby wrote some months back? I’ve got to assume so.
