Summary
The original "Scoundrels," released in 1988 and directed by Frank Oz, was itself a remake of the 1964 film "Bedtime Story," which starred Marlon Brando and David Niven. "Scoundrels" starred Steve Martin in the Brando role and Michael Caine in the Niven role as mirror-opposite conmen competing to scam money from a seemingly guileless American woman and banish each other from their South of France hunting ground, Beaumont-sur-Mer. The comedy also was spun into a Broadway musical in 2005 that starred Tony-winning actor John Lithgow. The idea of a new incarnation already has reportedly attracted quite a bit of interest from top-tier talent, who are waiting on the imminent delivery of Pink's script, who is also updating the Internet-era context of the cons. Because the cons have to be sophisticated, but their behavior has to be totally outrageous and absurd.
