KING OF KONG sequel will be faux documentary style says Seth Gordon

Seth Gordon's Horrible Bosses was a hilarious ride so I am excited to report the following news. It looks as though the long-planned sequel of his directorial debut, The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters will be in a faux documentary style. Gordon sat down with The Playlist to talk a bit about the project. The film that brought humor anda touching story to a film about Billy Mitchell's and Steve Wiebe's battle for the Donkey Kong crown. The film was such a success that New Line picked up rights to a sequel immediatley.

Here is what Gordon had to say:

“Totally. It’s stunning…I think it’s the thing that won’t ever die in a way because I think we all love the doc,” Gordon said, confirming the remake is still being worked on. “And so we haven’t given up on it. And there’s a new draft by [2007 Black List writer] Melissa Stack who did a wonderful job. And so it’s quite real.”

Here is what Gordonn had to say about the take of the story:

“There’s a few different avenues [the film can take]. I’ve done some work on ‘Modern Family’ and ‘The Office’ and have worked in this doc style, and so that inspired me to say, instead of doing a traditional narrative feature script, what if we did the remake in the doc style?,” he explained. “What doors what that open? What opportunities? What additional story could we tell? And that’s essentially the approach we took.”

Gordon has a pretty busy schedule for a bit with a reamke of WarGames. I really enjoy his directorial style and sense of humor. If you have not seen King of Kong I highly recommend you check it out. What are your thoughts?
