The Untold Story of Waiting...

Waiting... starring Ryan Reynolds and Justin Long has become a cult classic comedy from the 2000s. But this movie easily never could've gotten made, and its journey was absolutely brutal. I take you for the ride in this video. https://tubitv.com/movies/100046637/r... My directorial debut is officially streaming for free on Tubi!

But the movie actually was written for the first time back in the 1990s. The story of a day at a restaurant remains timeless though, so the concept didn't become dated at all in its 7 year journey to getting made, and is in fact so timeless that even in modern times the movie remains relatable. The movie had several roadblocks throughout the way, including Justin Long initially turning down the movie, Dane Cook changing his mind about being in the movie (before changing his mind again), and countless rejections...However, McKittrick stayed firm on his vision and in the end was successful. #justinlong #2000scomedy #movienostalgia #comedymovie #cultclassicmovies
