Funny Money

After he finishes Mary, Queen of Scots, Phillip Noyce will probably direct The Art of Making Money, a DreamWorks project about Art Williams, a real-life Chicago counterfeiter who printed more than $10 million in fake bills, etc. The guy is currently doing time for this. Screenwriter Frank Baldwin is adapting Jason Kersten‘s Rolling Stone 2005 profile of Williams.

  1. Was watching Noyce’s Clear and Present Danger a few nights ago. What a tight action-thriller that was. Love the writing in that film.
    I found Rabbit Proof Fence to be one of the most moving films I’ve ever seen in a theater.
    Looking forward to this; maybe it will be his Catch Me If You Can…

  2. Noyce is like Roger Donaldson… the best kind of journeyman/craftsman. They can make perfectly accomplished mainstream action pictures with a strong storytelling touch and minimal stylistic intrusion, then turn around and lend a delicate touch to more personal material, often in their native NZ/Australia.
    I know neither name regularly places on anyone’s list of “hot” auteurs, but they’re extremely solid across a multitude of genres. Looking forward to some new Noyce.

  3. Henry Perkins, a mild-mannered accountant, accidentally trades briefcases with another man, to find out that there’s five million dollars inside. Henry tells his unsuspecting wife of their new-found fortune, but she doesn’t embrace it as well as he does. Soon they’re joined by their best friends, a cop on the take, a cop on the hunt, and the dreaded Mr. Big, who has come to claim his million dollars.

  4. I am looking forward to see this movie. The book makes for a fun quick read. Its well written and moves through the history and motions of what ultimately amounts to a tale of trash. Sadly Art may be a master counterfeiter but he is a horrible businessman. So I hope that the movie will be as good as book! Yolada from http://lastlongerguide.com/ejaculation-trainer/ site crew.
