I’m talking SHAUN OF THE DEAD waves. What do you get when you take AMERICAN PYSCHO, turn it into a comedy, and throw in one of the top female names in the business? You get Resse Witherspoon in NICE.
Maybe the comparison with AMERICAN PSYCHO is a little premature, but it’s the first impression I got after reading the premise. The synopsis reads: Grace is nice to a fault. She never picks fights, and doesn’t like to criticize or hurt people’s feelings. Problem is, the men in her life never seem to take a hint. And she just can’t bear to tell them outright when she isn’t interested. So she kills them. A clean break–no messy emotions, no heated arguments. But someone is onto her. His name is Sam, and he and Grace, with one very dangerous thing in common, make a killer couple. It’s a match made in heaven-as long as they can both survive the relationship…
Aside from making me think twice now whenever a future girlfriend is too nice, that sounds pretty cool to me. NICE is based off a novel by Jen Sacks. Witherspoon has signed on to produce and star. It’s going to be great seeing one of the top names out there doing a genre flick.
We’ll definately keep you updated on NICE.
