Harold Ramis directs John Cusack in The Ice Harvest.
There are a lot of movie directors who spend their entire careers working in a single genre. In a fickle industry where a couple of bombs can lead to prolonged unemployment, there's a certain job security in mining similar subject matter. On the rare occasion when a filmmaker does step out of character, they frequently find themselves chastised by critics and ignored by audiences that are shackled with expectation. Apparently, these concerns didn't weigh heavily on Harold Ramis when he decided to make The Ice Harvest. A dark yarn with a moral compass as slippery as the setting, The Ice Harvest is a far cry from the flicks that made Ramis. In fact, nothing in Animal House, Caddyshack or

Dick Wolf is working on a new legal drama that will examine the impact of a big-time trial (think O.J. or Scott Peterson) on a small town, but — and you'd better sit down for this — it isn't called "Law & Order: This 'n' That." Suddenly I'm very afraid.... Ivan Reitman, who has directed big-screen features from Meatballs to Old School, has begun thinking small: He's developing a sitcom for Fox called That Guy, about a 35-year-old who surrenders to a "second puberty" and begins acting up like he's 21. Kinda like what Big Brother's Howie will be like when he starts to gray.
