DVD Talk Forum - Spy (2015, D: Feig) S: McCarthy, Byrne, Statham, Law (2024)

Director Paul Feig is ramping up development on a female spy movie titled "Susan Cooper" that he hopes will become a franchise for 20th Century Fox, TheWrap has learned.

"Bridesmaids" director Feig is currently searching for a leading lady to star in "Susan Cooper," which will be a realistic comedy about a female James Bond, rather than a parody along the lines of "Get Smart" or "Johnny English."

It's described by an individual familiar with the project as a two-hander in the vein of "The Heat" that lends itself to a possible franchise.

Feig wrote the script and will produce the movie through his Feigco Entertainment banner, which recently landed a first-look deal at Fox. Feigco's new executive VP Jessie Henderson will also be involved in a producing capacity. Fox exec Daria Cercek will oversee the project for the studio.

"Susan Cooper" was inspired by the reintroduction of James Bond in 2006's "Casino Royale," which Feig recently told Variety ranks among his favorite movies.

Feig has publicly lamented the lack of female-driven projects in Hollywood, particularly after the surprise success of Universal's hit comedy "Bridesmaids," which grossed $288 million worldwide. His production company is tasked with finding edgy R-rated comedies and other commercial properties in the vein of "Bridesmaids."

-----------------------

Jason Statham will take part in the Melissa McCarthy-led Susan Cooper, to be seen as “a badass whose quick exit is foiled when his jacket pocket gets caught on a door handle, pulling him back and knocking him out.”

Rose Byrne is also in.

With Melissa McCarthy as the lead?

I'm guessing she's not the lead.

You're like the Mike86 for Melissa McCarthy!

-------

I enjoyed everything in there except for McCarthy. I like the twat moment.

Oh, ok. Thanks, lunch lady.

Haha.

Looks better than expected.

It's funny, because she's fat!

:lol:

She's a pretty hot property right now, I'm sure they want to get every dime out of her that they can.

Not to be pedantic, but she seems to be the exact opposite. In that movie, she was street smart and tough. In this she's desk bound and timid. :shrug:

Why Chev Chelios? Why?

This will be the first Statham flick I will not watch.

Yeah. This seems like an R-rated Get Smart.

Seems like an R-rated sh*t Fest.

Was there an PG-13 version priorly?

Yeah, it was called Crap Fest

Ah that's right, Poop Fest was PG.

I know you guys hate Melissa McCarthy but this actually looks fun.
