Rob Reiner Returning To Princess Bride Territory

Ever miss the Rob Reiner who made movies like The Princess Bride, rather than the guy who made soppy romantic comedies like Alex & Emma and Rumor Has It...? Apparently Rob Reiner does too, since his next project sounds like a throwback to The Princess Bride that might actually have the potential to be good.

The Hollywood Reporter says Reiner's next directing project will be Book of Shadows, an adventure story written by Zoe Green that was originally dreamed up by Reiner himself. The movie stars a young man "who must embark on the perilous journey of first love and face many trials of maturity while on the dangerous quest to close a mythical tome called "Book of Shadows" in order to restore balance to the world." Throw in some Rodents of Unusual Size and you may as well have Inigo Montoya involved..

All of this is fine by me-- old-fashioned adventure romances are hard to come by, and Reiner has already proven once that he's good at them. I'm ready for a whole new generation of Princess Buttercup and Westley to get a chance.

Randomly came across this on IMDB but WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

That's awesome! Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die

Have you ever read the book??

Yup. Had to read it in English class in Jr. High, which is how I came across the movie.

What??

I wish that was assigned reading for me in Jr. High.. I read it like 20 years after I saw the movie..

Yeah, I also had to read Fahrenheit 451 and of course Of Mice and Men.

I had to read both of those but no Princess Bride..

Fezzik was by far the best character in the book..

I'm an Inigo Montoya man, myself.

Anybody want a peanut?
