While many in the Hollywood studio world are understandably focused on the next wave of young horror talent, some are keeping an eye on next generation of comedy talent that is rising.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller have come aboard to produce I Promise We’re Cool, a high concept comedy that was just set up at Universal Pictures.
Charlie Hall, best known for his acting work in such shows as The Sex Lives of College Girls and Monster: The Ed Gein Story, is set to write the script ,while Max Tzannes, who is part of the filmmaking collective Dirty Shot Clean, is on board to direct.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the project is described as a high concept high school comedy with a sci-fi twist. Sources also indicate that the project’s story elements are perfectly in line with the Lord and Miller, who wrote and directed 21 Jump Street, which featured adult cops undercover in high school, and directed this year’s space-faring adventure sensation Project Hail Mary.
