Mike White is an interesting guy. He first made his name as a writer/producer of Freaks And Geeks and Dawson’s Creek, but since then has written some very interesting indie flicks like Chuck & Buck (which he also starred in) and The Good Girl, as well as more commercial projects like The School Of Rock and Nacho Libre.
Now it’s been announced that Columbia has bought his spec script, Babes In The Woods, about a female freshman from the Midwest who arrives at Yale and becomes a target of the New Jersey mob. White will do a polish on the script before it goes out to directors and actors, while also producing the movie through his Rip Cord Productions company.
To be honest we always look forward to whatever White’s involved in, so let’s hope this is a good one.
