Sonnenfeld also told Variety that he hoped to get back ownership of the title, White Noise, since Universal Pictures have a movie of the same name in the pipe.
White Noise was written by Don Delillo and winner of the National Book Award in 1985, it is the story of Jack and Babette and their children from their six or so various marriages. They live in a college town where Jack is Professor of Hitler Studies (and conceals the fact that he does not speak a word of German), and Babette teaches posture and volunteers by reading from the tabloids to a group of elderly shut-ins.
They are happy enough until a deadly toxic accident and Babette's addiction to an experimental drug make Jake question everything.
Money for Nothing is another dark comedy and revolves around a man who receives mysterous cheques in the post for years. He cashes them without knowing what they are for. Seven years later while on holiday he is approached by an agent. You are now active they tell him....
