Novel idea
Entertainment Weekly reports that member of the tribe Ben Stiller is working on a dramatic screenplay based on the 1941 novel entitled What Makes Sammy Run? about the rise of a ruthless Jewish Hollywood mogul. It's sensitive topic has many studios scared to make the film, but word now comes that Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks are negotiating making the film. Stiller's dad Jerry (most famous for playing George Costanza's dad on Seinfeld) told the magazine that he worries that the film may cause anti-Semitism. "I worry about that, I do," he said. "How can you like that character? It could be very inflammatory at this time, when Jewish people seem to be on the firing line."
