The Kitchen (Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish)

[Himmel]

Deadline

Melissa McCarthy is finalizing a deal to star with Tiffany Haddish in The Kitchen, the drama on which Andrea Berloff will make her directorial debut. New Line Cinema and DC Entertainment are making the film, with a screenplay that Straight Outta Compton scribe Berloff wrote based on the 2014 comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle for DC’s Vertigo.

The Kitchen is an Irish mafia story set in Hell’s Kitchen, New York in the 1970s. An FBI sweep catches mob leaders, and while they are under arrest and their criminal enterprise is jeopardized, the mob wives take over. They end up running the illicit business in more vicious fashion than their husbands ever did.

What an interesting premise.

Sounds pretty rad for a crime thriller...as a comedy though?

Yeah, I thought the same. Why even go the comedy route? It seems like a perfect vehicle for something gritty that verges on dark humour without going full belly laughs. I might pick the comic up. It seems like my cup of tea.

Tiffany Haddish needs to disappear. Girls Trip was the most overrated film of the year, and is firmly at the bottom of my 2017 list as the worst movie of the year. I am baffled at how people liked it and especially the praise that Haddish has gotten.

Well, the silver lining for me is if you take two of the most horrible, obnoxious, grating actresses and put them in the same movie, that means they can't be making two separate movies, which means I only have to avoid seeing one awful film instead of two.

Hmmm.

Where does it say it's a comedy? Looks like they're going full drama. Could be interesting. Love Elisabeth Moss.

Okay, this is starting to sound good.

If that chick on the front of that comic is who MM is playing I have to say WTF? Maybe her sister would work but I don't see a fat loud mouth being that character...

[CelluloidPal]

I'm guessing that they're reworking this comic (I haven't read it nor heard of it) because the synopsis said that they're supposed to be wives if Irish mobsters but the cast leads me to believe that major changes are afoot.

Rated R for violence, language throughout
and some sexual content.

[Frank TJ Mackey]

One of my most anticipated films of the year. I love the premise, and I actually like all 3 of the actresses quite a bit.

Can't wait for a teaser trailer.
