Louis C.K.'s talents as a stand-up have been recognized for years, decades even. It wasn't until his FX series "Louie", however, when his skills as a writer and director were equally applauded. His filmmaking career, however, goes almost as far as his comedy, yet his 2001 misfire Pootie Tang restricted him from much activity in the director's chair, beyond stand-up specials and eventually his acclaimed series. Now that his show is a massive critical darling, however, it looks as though C.K. will get another chance to make a feature. He teams up with producer Scott Rudin, and also returns to work with "Louie" producers Dave Becky and Blair Breard, to write, direct and star in the indie film I'm a Cop. The feature centers on a middle-aged, depressed man (C.K.) who volunteers as a police officer and lives in his mother's shadow in the midst of her retired but celebrated officer career.
