Josh Greenbaum is a guy you won’t have heard of. He has yet to make a feature film but he already has an award in his cabinet. Or his bedroom, maybe it’s in his garage? Who knows.

The award he won was the MTV Movie Award for Film-Maker on Campus at the USC and he also shared the Coca-Cola Refreshing Film-Maker Award with a fellow graduate.

Variety say Greenbaum is to take off the safety armbands and will direct THE ART OF COOL, for Columbia Pictures, a movie that sounds like it might be going for the SUPERBAD crowd…

Story centers on a geeky student who discovers the classic book “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu and literally uses it as a survival guide for navigating the social politics of high school.

Studio paid $600,000 against $850,000 for Alex Sabeti’s spec script last year.

Could be fun. We all know that school life is just about the biggest war zone most of us will ever experience in our lives and some of the pointers in that book might actually be closer to the truth than what you would think.

I feel an 80’s revival of high school comedies are on the rise. Look out for this one… and I wonder how many SUPERBAD alumni will be cast in this. At least 2, I’m guessing.
