"I think everything is practically perfect"

Counter-intuitive though it may seem, it’s quite possible for a Coen Brothers script to float around Hollywood for a few years without gaining much traction. Their rewrite of the 1966 caper film, Gambit, to which they’re unattached as directors, has started and stalled multiple times, despite the variously rumored involvements of Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Ben Kingsley, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston. Now Deadline Hollywood is reporting that director Doug Liman, whose Valerie Plame drama Fair Game is scheduled to compete at Cannes, is looking to pick up the pieces. Yay?
