Jack Black to Star in Wild Oats Alongside Shirley MacLaine, Jacki Weaver, and Alan Arkin
17 May 2012 3:17 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Though the two just starred together in Richard Linklater’s Bernie, Jack Black and Shirley MacLaine are already planning a reunion of sorts. It was announced today (via ScreenDaily) that Black and MacLaine will star in the comedy Wild Oats alongside Jacki Weaver and Alan Arkin. The caper follows two fugitives who are forced to outwit a trio of conmen and the law, with Howard Deutch (Pretty in Pink) onboard to direct from a script by Gary Kanew and Claudia Myers. The cast is impressive, but Deutch’s recent filmography (My Best Friend’s Girl, The Whole Ten Yards) isn’t exactly up to par with his earlier material. Production on Wild Oats is set to get underway in mid-July, but Black is also attached to star in Charlie Kaufman’s incredibly promising Frank or Francis. That film has a solid cast, but producers are still firming up financing before production can begin. »

Jack Black Reunites With Shirley MacLaine on ‘Wild Oats’; Alan Arkin and Jacki Weaver Also Starring
17 May 2012 1:05 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Maybe Jack Black is getting his career back into shape. Right in the wake of Richard Linklater‘s (reportedly amiable) Bernie getting a tiny release, ScreenDaily reports that he and Shirley MacLaine will collaborate once more on Wild Oats, an independent comedy that Howard Deutch (Pretty in Pink) is directing; Alan Arkin and Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom) are also locked to star.
ThePlaylist have some finer points on the story, informing us that Oats (written by Gary Kanew and Claudia Myers) is the story of two women (Weaver and MacLaine) who go to Las Vegas after one is sent a Social Security check for $900,000; there, the friends encounter three criminals who try to swindle the money from their grabs. And, although it’s not confirmed by any means, I’m guessing Arkin and Black will play two of those three fellows, if only because I like to make assumptions based on little-to-no proper information. »

Jack Black To Sow 'Wild Oats' With Shirley MacLaine, Alan Arkin And Jacki Weaver
17 May 2012 11:50 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Clearly, Jack Black made one too many "Gulliver's Travels" or "A Big Year" -- in the last twelve months or so, the comic star (who just released a new record under his Tenacious D guise) has veered mostly away from big studio comedies to more interesting sounding indie-type projects, like Richard Linklater's recent, and very charming "Bernie," prospective Michael Winterbottom project "Bailout," and Charlie Kaufman's "Frank or Francis." And now, there's another one on his dance card that sounds pretty promising, all in all.
Screen Daily report that the actor is in talks to join Howard Deutch's "Wild Oats," which would see him reteam with his "Bernie" co-star Shirley MacLaine, as well as the great Alan Arkin and "Animal Kingdom" Oscar-nominee Jacki Weaver. The film stars MacLaine and Weaver as two best friends who leave their small Ohio town for Las Vegas after MacLaine's character accidentally receives »

Wild Oats Goes to Dimension Films

Dimension Films continues its acquisitions streak with the pick up of the road-trip comedy Wild Oats featuring a talented cast including Academy Award winner Shirley MacLaine, Academy Award nominee Jacki Weaver and Academy Award winner Alan Arkin.
The film is directed by Howard Deutch who helmed the classics Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful, and recently worked at HBO directing shows such as Big Love and Hung. Claudia Myers and Gary Kane penned the script which has been described as a spunky comedy that is a cross between Sideways and Thelma & Louise.
Wild Oats tells the story of a retired widow (Shirley MacLaine) who hits the jackpot when she receives a Social Security check mistakenly made out for $900,000 instead of $900. She and her best friend (Jacki Weaver) then take off for Las Vegas, only to become media sensations and fugitives from justice.
