Today brings the news that Tommy Failure, a nickname I have assigned McCarthy in light of the recent 13 Reasons Why, may soon get on board with Timmy Failure.
Now a little more than a year out from his Oscar win for the journalistic procedural Spotlight, Tom McCarthy’s on the hunt for some new work.
McCarthy has been approached to co-write and direct the project by Disney, The Hollywood Reporter states, comparing the property to the recent breakout Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
As we know from his Up script, McCarthy’s great with kids — this could be another boon to parents looking to kill a rainy afternoon.
