Reportedly, the much-coveted deal comes close to the seven-figure mark. The original "Love Bug" starred Dean Jones, Michele Lee and Buddy Hackett and was released in 1968. The formula proved a hit and spawned several sequels including, "Herbie Rides Again" and "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project has been in development for years, with various versions penned by such scribes as writing team Blake Snyder and Colby Carr as well as David Berenbaum. Apparently the studio is scrapping all previous incarnations of the project to pick up the Lennon and Garant take, which puts Herbie in the world of NASCAR. "Taxi," currently in production in Los Angeles, stars Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon for director Tim Story. Queen plays a cab driver to Fallon's rookie cop and is expected to be released sometime in 2004. ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
