The TV Set

David Duchovny and Ben Stiller are set to star in the new project "The TV Set". Ya ya I know... a lot of people hate Ben Stiller. I still really like his stuff though. Yes he's done some REALLY bad films... but he's still put together some movies that I still laugh my ass off at (Zoolander is one that comes to mind).

And even though I wasn't a huge X-Files fan, I became a big David Duchovny fan after seeing him in Return To Me (one of the best romantic comedies I've ever seen). Duchovny showed a range that I didn't think he was capable of in that film. His small part in Zoolander was hilarious too.

The good folks over at M&C; have provided us with this little synopsis of The TV Set:

The TV Set will follow Dave (Duchovny), who has a pregnant wife, a skinflint mother and a lot of expenses. He should be happy that he has just sold a television pilot. But the path to the production includes a tumble down a rabbit hole of dimwitted executives, talentless stars and micro-managing suits who seem determined to remove any hint of creativity out of Dave's work.
Yeah I'll be lined up to see this one... why not?

ala: that old 1980's movie with kevin bacon called "the big picture"..... anyone remember that one?

sounds like the same deal with the difference being this movie is about a tv pilot and the kevin bacon one is about a movie pitch.

Why the hell does Hollywood ever make movies about Hollywood? Only other Hollywood insiders, and wannabes, care to watch such movies.
