It's hard to believe that its now a decade since Dylan Kidd's witty debut Roger Dodger introduced itself. Since then the director has given us the less-seen PS, and more recently some episodes of Adult Swim's Children's Hospital, but Kidd is now finally set to return to cinema screens with **Get A Job.
The film has the zeitgeisty idea of following a group of recent university graduates facing the fact that, in the current economic climate, they're going to struggle to land satisfying careers. Or any job at all. It's being set up at CBS, where it's attracting some serious attention.
Rising star Miles Teller (Rabbit Hole, Footloose, 21 And Over, Project X) is in talks to take the lead, and there's also been interest from Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jay Pharaoh, Anna Kendrick and Bryan Cranston. Jesse Eisenberg, for whom Roger Dodger was a big break, is apparently up for a cameo.
CBS are keen to make it clear that no casting has yet been finalised, and that Get A Job doesn't actually even have a green light thus far. But the word on the street is that shooting could start as early as next month.
