I need to get caught up on a number of reviews that have hit in the past 2 months, but let's get the big news out of the way first: In a first for FilmJerk.com, the site features two script reviews today on the same film, Mike Judge and Etan Cohen’s forthcoming feature “3001.” These reviews come as it was announced this morning that Luke Wilson (2003’s “Alex and Emma” and “Old School”) has been cast as the central character Joe Bowers, playing a man who goes to sleep only to wake up 1,000 years in the future. Shooting should begin in mid-April. The column begins here and it links off to the two separate reviews.

Of the two reviews, my own view of the script is probably closer to Darwin's and that this would make a better animation feature than live-action. The set designers for the film have a tough job ahead of them here-- this could come out looking extremely cheesy if not done right.
