MTV's dreamy Yago sells a screenplay
Is there anyone more adorably relevant than Gideon
Yago? The MTV News correspondent has been responsible for delivering hard
news in the hippest way possible, which is not an easy task when your audience
has turned in to watch shows like My Super Sweet 16 and The Real
World 17: Take It Off, Bitch!. Now, the ambitious (and again— really,
really cute) Yago has sold a script for a movie called Underdog, inspired
in large part by his experiences talking to young soldiers in Iraq. Picked up
by Focus Features, the film centers on best friends who return home—one
as a hero, the other in disgrace—and the mother of another soldier who
died in the conflict.
