Additionally, Cohen has a few episodes of the animated series <em>King Of The Hill<\/em>. (We&#8217;ll forgive him for having <strong>Men In Black III<\/strong> as well considering what a complete unorganized mess that film&#8217;s history of rewrites was.)<\/p>\n<p>Most encouraging, though, is that Cohen had a horror-comedy-action script on 2010&#8217;s Black List, <strong>Boy Scouts Vs Zombies<\/strong>. And having read it I can tell you that it is just as goofily fun as its title may suggest and honestly gives me a better feeling about the project than previous scripters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky did.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Cohen is supposedly preparing to direct <strong>Boy Scouts Vs Zombies<\/strong>, his directorial debut. It is unclear which project will take precedence or if he will be working from Eisenberg and Stupnitsky&#8217;s draft or starting fresh from page one.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120823021803\/http:\/\/www.variety.com:80\/article\/VR1118056405?\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Variety<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The TROPIC THUNDER scripter is the newest addition to the project.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/07\/11\/etan-cohen-is-latest-ghostbusters-3-writer\/\" title=\"Etan Cohen Is Latest GHOSTBUSTERS 3 Writer\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20997,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[539,1652,4912,537],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20996","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-bill-murray","9":"tag-dan-aykroyd","10":"tag-etan-cohen","11":"tag-ghostbusters-3"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20996"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=20996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
