Joel Schumacher earned a lot of enemies 'round these parts over the summer, when the braver among us revisited Batman and Robin and were reminded how truly horrendous the thing is. But that doesn't mean he deserves what seems like chaos in the pre-production stages of his new movie, Inland Saints, which is about to get a complete overhaul thanks to two new screenwriters.
Variety is reporting that Damian Shannon and Mark Swift will take the movie in a whole new direction, and based on the descriptions, they're making a whole different movie out of it. The original story was about a street gang leader who falls in love with the daughter of an investigating detective-- you know, an urban Romeo and Juliet thing. Now the story will be set in "a small-town desert wasteland gripped by drugs and gangs," and horror will somehow be involved.
So basically, no one liked the movie they were making, so they're putting together a brand new one? Worse ideas have been tried, i guess, but it's a shame they went so far with a script that was apparently worthless. Of course, they made a whole movie out a script that was apparently worthless with Batman and Robin, so I guess we're lucky they're nipping this one in the bud.
