A Riches movie?
The former stars and writers plan to shoot a “guerilla-style” adaptation.
Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver will reprise their roles on the cancelled FX show, The Riches, in a new movie, the BBC reports.
“We’ve had a meeting and the writers are going to go off and slam out a story,” Izzard told the BBC. “We’re going to raise money like Barack Obama through the Internet, and we’re going to shoot it guerilla-style.”
The critically acclaimed show about Wayne and Dahlia Malloy, two con artists who pose as a well-off couple, was cancelled in April after just two seasons.
Izzard says the time for a big screen adaptation couldn’t be better. “Everything’s getting tight, money’s getting tight and there’s the credit crunch - so it’s the time to go and be inventive.”
Izzard can currently be seen in the West End performing his new stand-up show, Stripped, while Driver remains occupied with her two-month-old son, Henry. She continues to keep the father’s identity a secret.

Side note, anybody else see Todd Stashwick in Ghost Whisperer and think "Dale?! What the hell are you doing here?!"
