It looks as though Ben Stiller is finally heading back to TV decades after the medium first made him a big name.
According to a new report from Deadline, Stilelr is set to star, direct, and executive produce (with Scott Rubin) a new comedy project entitled "All Talk" based on the work of Jonathan Safran Foer for HBO. In a statement, network programming head Michael Lombardo had this to say about the project:
“Ben Stiller continues to be a major, multi-talented star because of his discerning ability to embrace creative and innovative projects – whatever the medium. From major blockbuster motion pictures to small independent films; from Broadway to off-Broadway, the common thread is always the excellence of the material. We were enormously pleased that Ben responded to this extraordinary work from Jonathan Safran Foer.”
Stiller is still active in the film world, and this likely marks yet again by him an opportunity to try a new form of entertainment. Alan Alda is in talks to co-star in the project, which is about a Jewish-American project living in Washington DC.
