David Weiss Movie Updates

Shrek 2 and The Smurfs writers J. David Stem and David N. Weiss have been hired to write Enchanted 2

David Stem and David Weiss, the writing team behind last year's The Smurfs, have been tapped to write The Ringling Brothers for Paramount.

Last week, in the wake of The Smurfs surprisingly robust $35 million opening weekend, the company set a date for the sequel — Aug. 2, 2013 — and said Jordan Kerner was returning as a producer.
