Ready for a Rainn-aissance?

While I love Steve Carrell and John Krasinski, it's really nice to see Rainn Wilson getting some notice too. Last year he got to take the reigns of SNL and now comes word that a hilarious sounding script he co-wrote was just purchased as a starring vehicle for him.

Per Reuters:
Universal Pictures has picked up comedy "Renaissance Men" penned by actors Rainn Wilson an Matt Ross. The story follows two down-and-out community theater actors who think they've accidentally killed a co-star. In a panic, they go on the lam and hide out in a Renaissance fair.

I can't wait to see Rainn all decked out in ye olde leather sillyness. But even more squealworthy is his second script which was also recently snapped up:

Wilson is also writing "Bonzai Shadowhands," a ninja comedy that Jason Reitman will direct for Fox Searchlight.

A Ninja comedy starring Rainn, directed by Thank You For Smoking's Jason Reitman? That just gave me a cinematic hard-on
