The Onion Movie: It made Searchlight cry...

News came today that Miramax Films is developing a satire with the former editor in chief of The Onion.

Per the Hollywood Reporter, “Homeland Insecurity” will “track the misadventures of two Arab-Americans who are mistaken for terrorists while on a business trip to Texas. Robert Siegel will write the screenplay; he has co-written the script for “The Untitled Onion Movie” for Fox-based Regency Enterprises.”

This of course begs the question: What the hell ever happened to “The Untitled Onion Movie” at Fox-based Regency Enterprises, anyway?

Well, when it got started in 2004, it was to have been a Fox Searchlight release that was co-financed by Regency.
