RKO lays down a new 'Bet'


November 19, 2008 RKO is putting money down for "Love on a Bet," a remake of a 1936 road comedy that will be directed by Steve Carr. RKO's Ted Hartley is producing along with Carr and Jason Taragan via their Rumpus Entertainment banner. The original "Bet" was a Depression-era comedy -- directed by Leigh Jason and starring Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie -- that followed a man who, in order to raise money for a play, makes a bet with a rich uncle that he can begin a journey in New York's Central Park with nothing but his underwear and end up in California with a suit, $100 and a fiancee.
