Descendants writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash win Oscar, sell Kristen Wiig movie, land Fox pilot, generally having better week than you
When you start your week by winning an Oscar, as Descendants writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash did, you would think that things couldn’t get much better career-wise in the next four days. Why, they even gently mocked Angelina Jolie on stage and got away with it. But much like Jack Donaghy on Leap Day, the duo seem intent on making extra sure that they’re doing better than the rest of us this week: Variety reports that Rash and Faxon have sold a Kristen Wiig-starring comedy to Indian Paintbrush, in a “competitive situation that drew multiple offers.” Well, la-ti-da.
