'We're the Millers' Writer to Direct 'Horrible Bosses 2'
When Seth Gordon departed the sequel to 2011's $200M R-rated comedy hit Horrible Bosses, the film suddenly found itself in need of a new boss. Turns out the search for a replacement didn't have to go very far, as THR reports that Sean Anders, who recently co-wrote for Jason Sudeikis in this summer's We're the Millers, has won the job.
Best known for helming the underrated teen sex comedy Sex Drive and last year's dim Adam Sandler film That's My Boy, Anders will be bringing over his We're the Millers co-writer John Morris as an exec-producer. The duo had already rewritten the Horrible Bosses 2 script, and considering their recent success this was a natural move to bring them over.
Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jamie "Muthafu**a Jones" Foxx are set to return for Horrible Bosses 2 when production gets underway.
