It's not the most obvious of face-offs, perhaps - hardly up there with Alien vs. Predator or Superman Vs. Batman - but Wife Vs. Ninja is set for the screen with DreamWorks, and it actually sounds kinda fun.
This is the story of a Long Island housewife whose scientist husband leaves her for a beautiful young intern. Our heroine discovers that said intern is in fact a ninja assassin out to steal her husband's work, and has to find a way to get rid of the bitch before the latter can accomplish her goal and (presumably) leave the cheating, lying husband dead in a ditch somewhere. Why the wife cares about his fate we're not sure, but it's still a great premise.
Producer Michael Besman (Seven Years in Tibet, Georgia Rule) came up with the story, is producing and will write the script with debutant screenwriters Michael Zam and Jaffe Cohen.
A quick and highly unscientific Empire poll on Twitter recently confirmed that most people think ninjas are cooler than samurai (even though the latter have better films): wonder how they'll fare against the terrifying prospect of...wives?
