John Cusack has signed on to star in the screwball comedy Dictablanda (translated “Soft Dictator”).  Cusack co-wrote the script with Kevin Morris and co-star Paul Hipp (Terriers); Cusack and Morris will produce along with Pablo Bossi of Pampa Films.  Plot details are vague other than the promise of “international mayhem,” yet the film already has a baffling tagline: “People don’t die, they get killed.”  Variety reports that Dictablanda is filming on location in Argentina over the next two months under the direction of Alejandro Agresti (The Lake House).

Cusack recently finished shooting his portrayal of Edgar Allan Poe in the thriller The Raven.  The actor has two other films in the can with no set  release date in sight: the period piece Shanghai and the crime drama The Factory.

    Hi there

    I hope you are well.

    My name is Emma O’Connor and I am in the website recruitment team here at Jemm Media, we are an online advertising network.

    My job is to find quality sites to run display advertising on, we mainly look at unsold inventory in the UK, AU, IE, US and CA. Most sites use Google ad sense for their unsold inventory however we can offer better rates and nicer ads!

    Is this something we can work on?

    Warm Regards,

    Emma

    “people don’t die; they get killed.” one of the worst taglines i’ve ever read. but i find it hilarious nonetheless.
