Freaky Deaky is another adaptation of an Elmore Leonard’s writing (Justified, 3:10 to Yuma). This one, helmed by director/screenwriter Charles Matthau (son of acclaimed actor Walter Matthau), is a wacky comedy about bomb-making radicals in 1974—as opposed to a western story like other works of Leonard’s. While the ensemble cast is amusing, there the tone of the film is a little too freaky-deaky to engage the viewer.

Protagonist Chris Mankowski (Billy Burke) gets transferred out of the bomb squad (after a botched job) and sent to work sex crimes. There he gets involved with Ginger (Sabina Gadecki) who claims that the wealthy alcoholic Woody Ricks (Crispin Glover) raped her at one of his lavish parties. Woody’s conniving chauffeur/personal valet/bartender/lawyer Donnell Lewis (Michael Jai White) gets Chris suspended for interfering, which only serves to make Chris more determined to prove Woody’s guilt. Meanwhile,...

"What, the sexy dance?"

In the first trailer for the upcoming ensemble comedy Freaky Deaky, it's clear that everybody wants something, it's just not exactly sure who wants what from whom. There's Detroit police officer Chris Mankowski (Billy Burke), former Black Panther Donnell Lewis (Michael Jai White) and vengeful couple Skip (Christian Slater) and Robin (Breanne Racano), who all want something from eccentric and rich Woody Ricks (Crispin Glover).

While the trailer is more interested in showing off the movie's humor than explaining the movie's plot mechanics, as long as writer-director Charles Matthau stayed close to the spirit of Elmore Leonard's 1988 novel, Freaky Deaky should be an entertaining ride. Hey, it worked for 1995's Get Shorty, 1998's Out of Sight, and the TV show Justified, all of which are based on Leonard's books.

Collider got their hands on the trailer and poster for director Charles Matthau’s adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel Freaky Deaky.

Chris Mankowski (Billy Burke) used to be on the Detroit Police bomb squad, but it’s not until he’s transferred to sex crimes that he gets a real taste of juggling dynamite. After falling for the lovely Greta Wyatt (Sabina Gadecki), he gets suspended for investigating the rich, powerful and drunk Woody Ricks (Crispin Glover).

Mankowski quickly realizes it won’t be easy to get justice for Greta. From former Black Panther Donnell Lewis (Michael Jai White) to sexy ex-fugitive Robin Abbott (Breanne Racano) and her erstwhile bombing partner Skip Gibbs (Christian Slater), everyone wants something from Ricks. With all these unscrupulous deviants in the mix, one thing’s for certain… it’s gonna get freaky!

Christian Slater and Breanne Racano get Freaky Deaky.

The 2012 crime caper comedy film Freaky Deaky is based on the Elmore Leonard’s best-selling 1988 novel of the same name.

Set in 1974, Freaky Deaky zeroes in on Chris Mankowski (Billy Burke, Red Riding Hood), a former member of the Detroit Police bomb squad who begins to get a real taste for juggling dynamite when he’s transferred to the sex crimes unit. After falling for the lovely Greta Wyatt (Sabina Gadecki), he gets suspended for investigating the rich, powerful and drunk Woody Ricks (Crispin Glover, Hot Tub Time Machine). Taking matters into his own hands, Mankowski quickly realizes it won’t be easy to get justice for Greta, but maybe it can happen with some unintentional assistance from former Black Panther Donnell Lewis (Michael Jai White, TV’s For Better or Worse), sexy...

Cannes (May 23, 2012) – Entertainment One (“eOne”) announced today from the 2012 Cannes Film Festival that the company is acquiring all North American rights to director Charlie Matthau’s homage to 1970s filmmaking, Freaky Deaky. Matthau also penned the screenplay, which is based on Elmore Leonard’s 1988 novel of the same name. The film stars Crispin Glover, Billy Burke, Michael Jai White, Christian Slater, Andy Dick, Breanne Racano and Sabina Gadecki. Matthau andJudd Rubin produced the project, with George Eyde, Louis Eyde, Nathaniel Eyde, Robert Cantrell, Steven Berez, Donald Zuckerman, and Lee Greenberg executive producing. Freaky Deaky had its world premiere earlier this year at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. In Freaky Deaky, Chris Mankowski’s (Burke) first day on the sex crimes unit of the Detroit Police Department does not go well. Not only does he fall for the first person to report an assault to him, he’s suspended for investigating the rich,...

Just when you thought filmmakers had milked every gag possible from setting a movie in the 1970s, along comes writer/director Charles Matthau to prove that theory correct in the moribund Elmore Leonard adaptation “Freaky Deaky.” Though the source material takes place in 1988, Matthau heard the call of polyester and fur and answered be relocating the film to the seventies, resulting in a film drowning in cornball aesthetics, extravagant living room furniture, funk music out of a bad porno and loud fashion under the guise of mise en scene.

Billy Burke, an actor so unconvincing he can’t even manage to be a highlight of the “Twilight” movies, stars as Chris Mankowski, a detective coping with a string of bad luck, one that’s left him suspended from the force and living at his father’s house with borrowed wheels. He’s approached by a beautiful young ingénue named Greta...

Following the world premiere screening of "Freaky Deaky" at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 22, the fest hosted a "Tribeca Talks" panel with director Charles Matthau and cast members Andy Dick, Crispin Glover, Michael Jai White, Sabina Gadecki, Breanne Racano, and Leonard Robinson at the School of Visual Arts Theatre in New York.Those in attendance spoke to moderator Kurt Loder and the audience about making their film adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel, in which a Detroit cop and a beautiful actress try to take down a rich movie producer and wind up dealing with extortion, double crosses, and dynamite in the process. Here's what we learned:Matthau, who wrote and directed "Freaky Deaky," called actor and filmmaker Crispin Glover "my friend for 40 years," ever since they attended the same grade school in Los Angeles. Glover's father is veteran character actor Bruce Glover, while Matthau is the son of the.

Joseph LoDuca is scoring the upcoming action comedy Freaky Deaky. The film directed by Charles Matthau is based on the novel by Elmore Leonard (Jackie Brown, Out of Sight). The movie starring Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Crispin Glover, Michael Jai White, Breanne Racano and Roger Bart centers on a Lapd bomb squad officer who stumbles upon a plot by two former hippie activists who plan to use their bomb-making skills to trick an alcoholic movie mogul into handing over millions of dollars. An adaptation of the Leonard’s crime novel has been in development for years with Quentin Tarantino and John Malkovich being attached to the project at one point. Freaky Deaky is currently in post-production and is expected to be released in 2012.

As previously announced, the composer also has the action adventure Soldiers of Fortune starring Sean Bean, Christian Slater, Dominic Monaghan, Ving Rhames, James Cromwell, Freddy Rodriguez and Colm Meaney coming up.

Tom Arnold Also Circling A Role As Crispin Glover's Brother How far and strangely we've fallen. For "Freaky Deaky," the adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel at one time had folks like William H. Macy and Sienna Miller in the leads before going through a few casting shifts and settling on the lesser, but still somewhat respectable quartet of Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Craig Robinson and Katie Cassidy. The cast was recycled again, settling on a straight-to-dvd strong bunch of Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Michael Jai White, newcomer Breanne Racano and Roger Bart. That pretty killed whatever interest we had…...

As cliched as this is going to sound, the casting process for Freaky Deaky has lived up to the title. In early June Matt Dillon, Craig Robinson and Brendan Fraser all signed on to join William H. Macy in the adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel about ex-hippies blackmailing a Hollywood producer. It wasn't exactly a star-studded cast for the ages, but it was a whole lot more notable than the list of names that replaced all of them earlier this month; all of the main actors departed, to be replaced by Twilight's Billy Burke, Black Dynamite star Michael Jai White, Christian Slater and Breanne Racano. No explanation was given, but a casting shake-up of that size can never be a good thing. Now one more switcheroo has taken place, but unlike the others, this one actually makes me more curious to see the film. According to Variety Cirspin Glover...

A major cast shake-up confirmed that Sienna Miller, William H. Macy, Brendan Fraser, Matt Dillon and Craig Robinson have left writer/director Charles Matthau’s adaptation of the Elmore Leonard crime novel Freaky Deaky. Variety reported that character actor Crispin Glover stepped in for Macy as an alcoholic movie mogul threatened by a former ‘60s radical and his girlfriend. Glover joined the new batch of cast mates including Bill Duke, Sabina Gadecki, Christian Slater, Michael Jai White, Roger Bart and Breanne Racano. Matthau adapted the classic Elmore Leonard novel about former radicals trying to get on with their counter-culture lives in '70s Detroit and set the movie in 1974 at Leonard's suggestion.

From A-list to straight to DVD. That’s what the cast for the upcoming adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s Freaky Deaky has just become. Variety is reporting that Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Michael Jai White, Breanne Racano, and Roger Bart will now be taking over for the likes of Sienna Miller, William H. Macy, Craig Robinson, and Matt Dillon in the hotly-talked about project.

Wow, talk about a makeover. The long developing adaptation of Elmore Leonard's "Freaky Deaky" at one time had folks like William H. Macy and Sienna Miller in the leads before going through a few casting shifts and settling on the lesser, but still somewhat respectable quartet of Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Craig Robinson and Katie Cassidy. Well, Variety reveals that the has undergone yet another casting overhaul and has settled on a cast that pretty much guarantees the film a straight-to-vod release. "Twilight" star Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Michael Jai White, newcomer Breanne Racano and Roger Bart will now star…...

You.ve heard of tyrant bosses cleaning house by firing everyone and then hiring on a bunch of interns willing to work for cheap, and the situation with Freaky Deaky doesn.t sound much different. Brendan Fraser, Matt Dillon, Craig Robinson and Katie Cassidy have been removed from the cast to be replaced by Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Michael Jai White and newbie Breanne Racano respectively. However, it isn.t mentioned at Variety if the shake up came at the behest of director Charles Matthau, or if the actors just walked away. The new set of actors will certainly cost less, but at what cost to the film? Don.t get me wrong, I.m all about Billy Burke. As far as I.m concerned, he.s the only reason to see Twilight. But Christian Slater and Michael Jai White are grasping at straws, and Breanne Racano.s resume is...

Talk about some freaky deaky stuff going down. I don’t think this has ever happened before, but it has — the entire previous cast of Charlie Matthau’s adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s “Freaky Deaky” has all been replaced with an all-new cast. Out are Matt Dillion, Brendan Fraser and Katie Cassidy … and in are Billy Burke, Christian Slater, and Breanne Racano (below, in order) as their replacements. New addition Roger Bart has also officially signed up. “Freaky Deaky”, based on crime novelist Leonard’s novel of the same name, is a 1970s period film that willl follow Burke’s character, an Lapd bomb squad officer, who uncovers a plot being planned by ex-hippies to be played by Slater and Racano. Like most of Leonard’s stories, expect plenty of crime, quirk, and quirky crime in “Freaky Deaky”. Matthau (“Her Minor Thing”) will adapt and direct...

Billy Burke, Christian Slater, Michael Jai White and newcomer Breanne Racano are set to replace Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Craig Robinson and Katie Cassidy respectively in Charlie Matthau's action comedy "Freaky Deaky" reports Variety.

An adaptation of Elmore Leonard's crime novel, Burke plays an Lapd bomb squad officer who stumbles upon two former hippie activists (Slater and Racano) plotting to use their bomb-making skills to extort a movie mogul out of millions.

White will play a former Black Panther turned personal assistant to the mogul. Roger Bart has also joined the cast as a cop partnered with Burke. Matthau penned the script.

This is, well, a little freaky deaky indeed.

Billy Burke, Christian Slater and Breanne Racano have all joined the cast of "Freaky Deaky," the film adaptation of Elmore Leonard's crime novel, according to Variety.

And they'll be replacing Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser and Katie Cassidy, respectively.

The reasons behind this sudden major casting overhaul are currently unknown, though we have a feeling the film, which is set to be directed by Charlie Matthau, may have gotten a sudden -- and considerable -- budget cut. 

Burke will be playing an Lapd bomb squad officer who stumbles upon two former hippie activists (Slater and Racano) plotting to use their bomb-making skills to trick an alcoholic movie mogul into handing over millions of dollars.

This has at least been a good month for Christian Slater so far, who just booked a role in Walter Hill's untitled action flick starring Sylvester Stallone.
