10.09.09 THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL ‘HIGH-CONCEPT’
(”You see, it’s all going exactly according to my five-year plan.”)
From TheHollywoodReporter:
Disney will celebrate “Opposite Day.” The studio is developing a high-concept comedy with that title and has hired “Nancy Drew” scribe Tiffany Paulsen to write it. “Opposite,” based on an original idea by studio production president Oren Aviv, centers on a corporate hatchet man who wakes up one morning and finds he must follow the exact opposite of his normal routine.
High concept… original… Opposite Day… You’ve got the ingredients, just go ahead and bake your own zinger. Add spite to taste.
DISNEY EXEC 1: I JUST GREENLIT ‘OPPOSITE DAY.’
DISNEY EXEC 2: …We’re gonna need a bigger record scratch.
Man, I wish I was a corporate hatchet man. I would take my job so literally.

Eddie Murphy in Opposite Day.
Opposite Day is the excuse that Eddie Murphy gives officers when he is picking up tranny hookers.
Eddie Murphy’s Opposite Day involved a tranny and a ride home.
As long as this means they pay me to see it, I’m down.
@Jirish
Sorry Rish…you beat me to it.
opposite day…. so it will be a good movie, that is well reviewed by respected critics, and yet it bombs at the box office?
Opposite Day marketing involves duct taping the actual Eddie Murphy to a front of a bus. With any luck, it will be driven by Rampage Jackson.
Yeah…yeah, this is the company now in charge of Marvel Comics. Kiss your ass goodbye Wolverine. See you in hell Deadpool.
If only the would option Backwards Day, Criss Cross could plan a comeback
I’d hate to have to be the exec that made the call to Charlie informing him that despite the concept, Eddie would still be starring.
np tidy, it was too good to pass up haha.
48hours…that about how long I give Eddie’s career.
I keep applying to be a corporate Ka-Bar man, but Monster threatened to call the cops.
Billy Ray Valentine wouldn’t trade places with Eddie at this point.
Remember that scene from the South Park where Cartman is dressed up as the Awesome-O robot? Hollywood has resorted to that sort of brainstorming but instead of Adam Sandler it’s Eddie Murphy.
He’ll have a career as long as kids are ignorant nuisances (aka forever).
I love this concept!
Of course you’d love it…guy named after an alcoholic drink.
By ‘High Concept” Disney means they got stoned and talked about how if everything was like, opposite, of how it is, man.
I suspect the sequel will be titled ‘Doritos Run’
Shouldn’t this say “Disney Redlights ‘Opposite Day’”?
and finds he must follow the exact opposite of his normal routine.
What’s the exact opposite of morning bong rips and spying on the neighbor in the shower?
More rapes happen on Opposite Day than on any other day of the year.
The sequel, Apposite Day, has already been greenlit by the studio and will be shot simultaneously.
Opposite Day? So he’s going to play a thin, black man?
DISNEY EXEC 1: I JUST GREENLIT ‘OPPOSITE DAY.’
DISNEY EXEC 2: …And Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize? This must be opposite day!!
*Huffs Jenkem balloon, yells at asian houseboy to shoot cap guns in the air*
DISNEY EXEC 1: But you do that every day…..
Is this movie about the time when Eddie wanted to have non-consequential sex with a beautiful woman but wound up knocking up Scary Spice instead?
Speaking of Obama, I sure do hope that negro keeps his hands out of my pockets, lest he notice the stiffy.
No, it’s the movie explaining how he picked up a woman who was really a man.
Remember that movie with Fred Savage and Judge Reinholt, and then Tom Hanks jumped on a giant piano, and went to Jim Carrey for legal advice, but he couldn’t lie, but then he went back to Jim Carrey, and all he could say was yes, and then Zac Efron and some old guy swapped bodily fluids or something? Remember that? Go f*ck yourselves, Disney.
“wakes up one morning and finds he must follow the exact opposite of his normal routine” Goes back to sleep then? I’ve had a few Opposite Days. They’re not very eventful.
bb Ru, you left out the scene where Jodie Foster, Lindsay Lohan and Jennifer Garner make out.
Promotional stunts in anticipation of he film’s release will include 100-dollar bills wiping their asses with Disney executives
If Opposite Day was real, this movie would have been passed on.
Her name was Tiffany Paulsen.
Her name was Tiffany Paulsen.
HER NAME WAS TIFFANY PAULSEN!
Original idea, eh? You mean like the original idea Spongebob had 10 years ago? In the episode that was actually called ‘Opposite Day’?
