WoodrowHayseed 14 Posted January 21, 2014 I just noticed Mantzoukas was a screenwriter on Ride Along. Nicely done having the #1 movie at the box office. I think the Nundercover trilogy is in good hands. Share this post Link to post
EarBear 460 Posted January 21, 2014 From what I read he did a re-write of the initial script, which was then re-wrote by screenwriting team for the final. Â Best guess is about 30% of his jokes made it through. If it was all him, obviously it would have made over $120 million opening weekend. 2 Share this post Link to post
elizamuffins 4228 Posted January 24, 2014 I heard about this earlier today and checked the movie's IMDB page and guess who was originally attached to play Ice Cube's role? It was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! Wonder if Jason thought he was working on a screenplay for The Rock only to find out later the role was to be played by Ice Cube? I bet you if The Rock were in this movie it would be awesome lol. Share this post Link to post

I haven't looked, so I may be wrong, but I think that way back when, several years ago, it was going to be Rock and maybe Ryan Reynolds? I too would love to know which stage of the film Jason was working at. This would be a good discussion for a mini ep, although someone on another thread suggested having an episode where Jason, in douchey screenwriter mode, is the guest, and he's defending his movie and talking about what a piece of art it is. 2 Share this post Link to post

Â I'd have guessed that if his vision made it to screen unaltered, it would be NC-17 and banned in several countries. 2 Share this post Link to post
IHugKittens 53 Posted February 25, 2014 Do you think it was Jason's idea that the sister should be called Angela? 1 Share this post Link to post
