Everyone’s favorite part-man, part-fish is still webbing his way across Hollywood. This time, Kevin Costner has decided that the next film he’ll ruin will be the indie election comedy Swing Vote, says Variety.
Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, the story focuses on a single father catapulted into the national spotlight when his vote will decid the Presidential election. While this is all well and good for Hollywood drama, everyone knows that the President is actually elected by the Electoral College and that the popular vote merely elects the state elector who then votes for the president.
The film based on a common misunderstanding of the electoral process, will be the first project to come from Costner and Jim Wilson’s new production company, Treehouse Films.
"Treehouse will give me (the) opportunity to shepherd projects from the ground up, with the goal of aligning partners of a like mind," Costner says. "Swing Vote fits right into that mold.”
"Kevin wants to make sure he can control projects that are dear to him and may not fit within the traditional studio system," Wilson translated. "And he wants to make sure there is a model for that which makes sense."
So far, which part of any of this is making sense?
