Weiner is the author behind such books as "Good in Bed," "In Her Shoes" and "Little Earthquakes." Benderspink's JC Spink and the company's president of production, Jake Weiner, are exec producing. David Beaubaire and Ashley Brucks are shepherding the project for DreamWorks, and Aditya Sood is overseeing for Parkes and MacDonald. Hsiao, repped by Endeavor, has won Annie Awards for her writing work on "Toy Story 2" and "Mulan." She also has worked on "13 Going on 30," "Hitch" and "Enchanted," which goes into production next month.
