Big Brother 2 inspired Wernick and Rhett Reese , a screenwriter friend of his brother back from Phoenix, Arizona , where both attended high school to create their own take on reality television, The Joe Schmo Show .[3] [4] Broadcast on Spike TV , the series drew the highest ratings for the channel.[5] The Joe Schmo Show was also named on numerous Best Of lists, including Time magazine's "Top 10 TV Shows of 2003" and Entertainment Weekly ' s "50 Best TV Shows Ever on DVD."[6] [7]
In 2004, Reese and Wernick created and executive-produced Stuck on ODB , a comedy reality show starring Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB) of the Wu Tang Clan for Spike TV. However, ODB died before the show ever aired.[8] A year later, Wernick and Reese followed up with Invasion Iowa , a high-concept, high-stakes comedy hybrid starring William Shatner . The show premiered on Spike on March 29, 2005.[9]
Wernick and Reese's first feature collaboration was the 2009 film Zombieland , which they created and also executive-produced. The film was released by Sony Pictures on October 2, 2009, and became the highest-grossing zombie film at the time.[10]
Wernick and Reese followed Zombieland with Paramount Pictures ' G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013),[11] [12] starring Dwayne Johnson , Channing Tatum , and Bruce Willis . The sequel outperformed the original, grossing $375 million.[13]
In February 2012, it was announced Universal Studios had acquired Wernick and Reese's script for a feature film adaptation of Cowboy Ninja Viking .[14] In September 2012, their original science fiction spec screenplay Epsilon was sold to Sony Pictures , with plans to co-produce with Michael De Luca .[15] In April 2015, Wernick and Reese had optioned Thomas Oliver's book The Real Coke, The Real Story to produce a film about the failed launch of New Coke .[16]
