Fox lands 'cool' comedy pitch
'Cool' pitch bought
July 7, 2006
20th Century Fox has acquired an untitled comedy pitch by scribes Derek Guiley and David Schneiderman. Dean Georgaris and Michael Aguilar are producing via their Fox-based Penn Station Entertainment banner.
The project and the writers' take are based on a real-life seminar class where adults, mostly executives who have lost touch with "what's in," go for a crash course in "cool." In the duo's story, four out-of-touch ad execs end up in a high school and find themselves falling into the roles they were in as teenagers.
Fox's Alex Young is overseeing for the studio.
The project is sort of a homecoming for Guiley and Schneiderman, whose first sale was an action comedy pitch titled "Test Drive," bought by Fox. The writing duo, who penned the Mandy Moore starrer "Chasing Liberty," recently wrote "The Krazees" for Nickelodeon Films with Robin Williams attached to star.
Guiley and Schneiderman are repped by ICM, Mosaic Media and attorney Rick Genow.
