Think Pink

Steve Pink had writerly input into both Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity - which by my reckoning, earns him a couple of Fat Gold Stars. I don't know if he's still in the Cusack circle these days but he does have the comedy Accepted opening later this year, so at least then we'll see how he fares by himself.

Accepted stars Justin Long, so I expect a smart-alecky teen comedy, maybe a Ferris Bueller kind of thing. After that, Pink's next project is an adaptation of the Max Barry novel, Company. According to Variety (who seem to kindly read all these optioned novels just so I don't have to, and can get on with the business of watching films instead), Company "takes a satiric look at office politics through the eyes of a young business school grad who lands a low-level job at a major corporation."

Pink was one of the co-creators Dead Last, a TV show about rock 'n' roll and the undead that wasn't given half a chance, with thirteen episodes shot, only eight aired and a DVD release nowhere in sight.
