Bateman isn't taking identity theft lying down, even if McCarthy is.
What's It About: Account rep Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) is quietly living his life in Denver until it all falls apart once his identity is stolen by Diana (Melissa McCarthy), a retail-purchasing fiend living outside Miami. With only a week left before his world crumbles, Sandy travels to Florida to bring Diana back to Colorado and, as we know from previous road trip comedies — Due Date, Planes, Trains and Automobiles — nothing is going to be easy, and in the first trailer for the movie, it looks like Bateman and McCarthy will have their fair share of car accidents and throat punches.
Why it should work:Bateman is reuniting with his Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon for Identity Theft, while McCarthy is coming off of an Oscar–nominated performance in Bridesmaids. Plus, who doesn't like a good throat punch?

Last summer, Seth Gordon helped Jason Bateman try to kill his boss, now he has designs to steal Bateman's identity.
Variety reports that the Horrible Bosses director is set to reunite with Bateman in the upcoming comedy ID Theft for Universal. The plot, as the title suggests, involves Bateman getting his identity stolen by a character that was originally a man, but after seeing Melissa McCarthy's scene-stealing performance in Bridesmaids, Bateman reportedly asked for McCarthy to be cast instead.

Back in June, MGM hired Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) to develop and direct a new movie based on director John Badham's 1983 thriller, War Games, which starred Matthew Broderick as a computer prodigy who almost starts World War III when he hacks into a military supercomputer. At the time, Gordon predicted that it would be "a long time" before the movie would be ready to go into production because they still had to "write it and then cast it." While it's likely still far from the casting stage, at least the project has progressed to the writing stage as Deadline has reported MGM has hired TV news producer-turned screenwriter Noah Oppenheim (Hardball, Today Show) to pen the script.

Do you want to play a game?
With MGM now out of the mountain of debt they were buried under, the studio is digging into their archives for one of their next projects with 1983's War Games. The movie starred Matthew Broderick as a high school student who uses his acoustic coupler modem to inadvertently break into a military supercomputer and, thinking he's playing a computer game, almost starts World War III.
Deadline reports MGM has hired director Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) to help develop the War Games remake into a more modern context. Gordon is not unfamiliar with gaming, having directed the 2007 documentary The King of Kong, which followed a battle between two men attempting to claim the highest score in the arcade console version of "Donkey Kong". In an interview with Collider, Gordon expressed his excitement about the project.
