TBS #66 Mother Trucker
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - “Hustle & Flow” director Craig Brewer is double shifting.
He has signed a development deal to write and direct “Mother Trucker,” based on a Maxim article written by Steven Russell. The project is set up at Fox-based New Regency.
Pegged as an updated take on “Smokey and the Bandit,” the classic 1977 Burt Reynolds-Jackie Gleason chase movie that spawned two sequels, “Trucker” is an action comedy about a man who escapes from jail, steels an 18-wheeler and heads across the South to see his dying mother with police on his trail.
After talking with several suitors, Brewer sold the pitch to New Regency, the studio behind “Bride Wars” and “Marley & Me.”
“Hustle & Flow” won the Audience Award at Sundance in 2005, and went on to take the Oscar for best song. Brewer most recently wrote and directed “Black Snake Moan.”

Stratosphere rides - would you scream?
My HD camera was confiscated by the nice staff at the tower after taking it up on the big shot with me. The camera about got jarred from my hands as the ride launched. I was lucky that they didn’t throw me out of the building and let me continue on the rest of the rides. The video was going to have first person perspectives of the ride. But the camera I showed up with couldn’t be hidden. So the next time I go back I will have a wearable HD anamorphic rig that can be hidden while I am on the rides. Which means plan to see a 3d video coming soon.
