Look closer at the movie poster for the new Owen Wilson vehicle Drillbit Taylor and you'll see fictional Alexandre Dumas protagonist Edmond Dantès with a "Story By" credit.And you thought the Writer's Strike was fucked up? Get this...
Edmond Dantès true identity is none other than Generation X filmmaker icon John Hughes, who has also used the pseudonym on his scripts for Maid in Manhattan and Beethoven.I'll save judgment until I see the movie, but I'm not expecting a modern-day Ferris Bueller, or hell, even My Bodyguard, a movie Drillbit seems so shamelessly ripped off from.
