With Zack & Miri we now have another film that takes a look at the porn industry. But instead of being comedy, Middle Men is more of a drama. Like Boogie Nights drama? Well, not exactly, as Boogie Nights covered porn from its heyday of film up to its downfall to video. Middle Men will give us something that all men can relate to -- internet porn.
Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi for Middle Men
Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi have been picked up to star in Middle Men, a film that centers on a straight-and-narrow businessman who builds the first online billing company dealing exclusively with adult entertainment and finds himself in the middle of a whirlwind filled with starlets, conmen, Russian mobsters, federal agents and international terrorists -- all while trying to hold on to his marriage and family.
So next time you pay a visit to r@*tube or y**porn, just think about all the shenanigans that went into the site in order to get you off.
George Gallo will direct Middle Men off a script that he and Andy Weiss wrote. Production is set to begin October 20th.
