Writers named for Getting Up film
Team behind next year's King Tut reforms to stick it to the graffiti-hating Man in big-screen take on Contents Under Pressure.
According to an article in The Hollywood Reporter, MTV Films' big-screen adaptation of Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure has found its writing team. It seems the pair of Sean O' Keefe and Will Staples will put the story together. Although the two don't have any previously released writing credits to their names, they are collaborating on a pair of other movies at the moment--Renny Harlin's The Northmen (due this year) and Roland Emmerich's King Tut (set for a 2007 release).
