Yes, A Penn Alum Wrote "Hot Tub Time Machine" and Another Penn Alum Helped Produce It (and it's awesome!)
 |
| Josh with John Cusack |
The film is about 4 friends who travel back to the 80s after they discover that their ski resort hot tub ends up being a time machine.
Sounds pretty brilliant to me! Can't wait to see it!
After the jump, learn more about:
- how the movie got made
- where Josh would be at Penn if he took the hot tub back to the year 2000
- and what other Penn alum produced this film!

Kiera Reilly (C'93) emailed me to let me know that the journalist interviewing him is Penn alum Tom Rinaldi (C'88). I know the subject matter was delicate and you can hear that in the very careful tone of Tom's voice.

Did you see last week's episode of "Ugly Betty"? If you didn't, it was packed full of Penn!
As I was watching the credits, I noted that not only was Penn alum actress Becki Newton (C'00) featured but also Penn alum Andy Wolk (C'70, DP, 34th Street) directed this episode! ...Then just last night Debbie Frank (C'93) emailed in to let me know that actress Jill Abramovitz was featured in the episode as well.
I emailed Andy and he gave me some scoop from his time on the set...including the day the show got cancelled and the groundbreaking kissing scene...
More about Andy and some inside dish after the jump!
