WE’RE THE MILLERS made it into my Top 10 films of last year. Any comedy that brings me to tears is an automatic win, so talk of a sequel has been very welcomed. However, one film I was not too fond of was 2010’s DUE DATE. One of the writers from said film, Adam Sztykiel, has now been hired to write WE’RE THE MILLERS. DUE DATE had a large number of writers, but Sztykiel’s only other feature film credit is MADE OF HONOUR. Although this doesn’t instill a great deal of confidence, we have to assume that New Line will treat their property with the respect it deserves. Being a comedy, it’s doubtful that Sztykiel will be the only screenwriter attached.
The original film saw a group of misfits including a pot dealer, a stripper, a runaway, and a naive young man team up to pose as a normal American family as they transported drugs across the border. The film took a budget of $37 million and made $270 million worldwide.
