Casting has
already begun in Los Angeles, Austin, for a prehistoric comedy that will
be directed by, written by, and star Adam Rifkin. The project, titled Homo
Erectus, is being described as being in the same vein as Woody Allen's
Bananas and Sleeper. Homo Erectus centers on
‘Ishbo’, a philosophical caveman who yearns for more out of
life than sticks, stones and raw meat. The rest of his tribe write off his
forward-thinking ideas as the ravings of an idiot, including the cavegirl
he loves from afar.
Tom Schatz will executive produce, while Brad Wyman and Carolyn Pfeiffer
produce the tentatively titled picture, and Burnt Orange Prods. will provide
financing.
