There’s a comedy script written by Kyle Killen that’s been considered the hottest commodity not yet turned into a movie. According to Risky Biz Blog, The title is THE BEAVER and it’s about between a man and a beaver puppet he wears on his arm, which he talks to and treats as a companion. I’m sure all of us had a puppet friend at one point or another, right? When we were 6, I know.
But who runs through your mind when you think of a man and a beaver puppet friend? Only Jim Carrey can act out such an outrageous idea and make it funny for the big screen. But actually, the name Steve Carell was previously loosely attached to this project. Now Carrey is very interested, producers are interested in him, even The Beaver is falling in love with the hilarious Canadian native, but it all depends on who gets to direct.
Lo and behold, one of the names that came up in their discussion was Jodie Foster. I’m probably one of the few guys on earth who still thinks she’s a hot old broad, her tough roles have made her even more irresistible in my opinion. Foster’s directing gig in the past included Home For The Holidays and Little Man Tate but that was years ago. Can Jim Carrey depend on Foster’s rusty directing skills? Her involvement isn’t locked in yet but it’d be interesting to see her helm this gig.
Okay, to end this.. in regards to ‘Beaver’. I remember the comedy central roast of Pamela Anderson a few years ago. Comedian Jeff Ross got the mic and he said that he’s appaled Pamela Anderson is out there defending animal rights, fighting against animal violence when at the same time, she’s constantly torturing her beaver!

Who should direct this?

I'm all for Tom Shadyac! He'd do a great dramedy. He did in Patch Adams!

Since its the production company behind films as 'Eternal Sunshine' and 'Babel' and the script has been described as a mix between 'Being John Malcovich' and 'Lars and the Real Girl', I think there's a chance this is more indie. I kinda hope so. If this is another big studio-flick, like 'Yes Man' or 'Bruce Almighty', I think there's a chance it sucks. This script needs another handling.
And I love Jodie Foster, a woman with balls you know. But I like to see her in front of the camera, she's not that talented as a director imo. And please, not someone like Tom Shadyac, no sir.
Maybe you think this Beaver is cuter?
