]]>The Green Book helmer will direct and adapt a dramedy based on the true story of “Chickie,” who in 1967 left New York to track down and share a few beers with his childhood buddies in the Army… while they were fighting in Vietnam.
Currently titled The Greatest Beer Run Ever (working title), will be adapted from Joanna Molloy and John “Chickie” Donohue’s book The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A True Story of Friendship Stronger Than War.
The Oscar-winning director is set to co-write the script with his Green Book co-scribes Brian Currie and Pete Jones. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, and Andrew Muscato are producing. Skydance’s Don Granger will oversee the project.
Green Book was nominated for five Academy Awards and won three, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali. It also won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture and Best Screenplay.

]]>We are not historians, so we cannot judge how accurately Peter Farrelly portrays what life would have been like for a black artist of the Deep South in 1962. What we can judge the movie on is how convincingly it told the story of its characters and how it made us feel watching them.
We can confidently say that watching the relationship between Dr. Don Shirley and Tony Lip made us feel good, great even. They tell the story of overcoming obstacles and celebrating our differences as well as the shared experiences that
Don Shirley is a lost soul, who is not accepted by his community or the white community. He meets Tony, a ’60s tough guy, who becomes his bodyguard and driver during Don’s tour with his band around the Deep South. While Don is cultured and sophisticated, Tony is the stark opposite. The two have nothing in common and watching them be thrust into this bizarre situation where they are forced to spend time together is both comical and endearing to watch.
What makes the developing relationship so delightful to witness is that it’s not just Tony getting a lesson about culture and tolerance. Both characters gain a new perspective through meeting one another and grow as the movie progresses. Their dynamic and on-screen chemistry is electric and although their story might be set in a specific context, the essence of the movie is universally human.
Overall, Green Book is a thoroughly enjoyable character movie featuring Oscar worthy performances and direction from the cast and crew. It’s not a movie about racism, it’s a movie about two people who overcome their own prejudices to form an unlikely and beautiful friendship.
5/5
