Freaking Out

Charles Matthau, son of the late Oscar-winning actor Walter Matthau, has adapted the Elmore Leonard novel Freaky Deaky as a movie script and is set to direct it reports Variety.

"Deaky" tells the story of two former 1960s radicals who decide to "go straight" using their bomb-making skills to become capitalists in the go-go world of 1974 Los Angeles.

Shooting kicks off in January.

Previous Leonard film adaptations have yielded really good flicks like Out of Sight and 3:10 to Yuma--and not so good flicks like Get Shorty, Jackie Brown and The Big Bounce.
