Death To The President

In a bid to finally expunge the memory of 2002's Analyze That from our minds, Billy Crystal is working on an, as yet, untitled projecct, taking on the thankless role of Death's 'repo-man'. Not one to do anything half-heartedly, Crystal has signed on to direct, co-write, produce and star in this stygian comedy, which sees him paying a surprise visit to America's unfortunate president. Not a million miles from Martin Brest's Meet Joe Black on paper, this film sees the Grim Reaper's envoy strolling, bold as you like, into the Oval Office and informing the leader of the free world that his time is all but up. With only 24 hours before his soul makes the journey to the other side, the White House's incumbent is left with 24 hours to put all his affairs in order - both personal and political. Shameless wish-fulfilment? Surely not.
