David Gordon Green, who started off as the would-be successor to Terrence Malick and last made the flop comedy, is anything but predictable, which is why we shouldn't be shocked by his latest weird choice. But, hell, I can't help it-- I totally, totally never expected Green to take on an adaptation ofNo, seriously-- I know it sounds like a MadLibs experiment gone wrong, but Green really is planning amovie, with Deadline reporting that Sony Pictures is in negotiations to take on the project, and none other than heavyweight producer Scott Rudin ready to take it on.is best known from the 1970s TV series as well as the original books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, chronicling her difficult but fascinating childhood growing up on homesteads in Kansas, Minnesota, and South Dakota. The stories are beloved by generations of mostly female fans, and it actually makes sense for there to be a new feature film version for fans not at all familiar with the TV series.But for David Gordon Green to be the one to take it on? It didn't seem at all like the direction he was headed, after comedies likeand, and a chunk of time spent developing a remake of the horror film, which was on track as recently as April of this year . And it was just last month that Nicolas Cage signed on to star in Green's Southern-tinged dramaThefilm still seems to be in the early stages of development, which gives Green plenty of time to finish. If he can tap back in to the filmmaker he was forand, he really has the potential to revive the classicstories for modern audiences. But is he still that guy? Let us know in the comments if you think this oddball pairing of director and material can pan out.
