Bobby Farrelly To Direct Road Trip Comedy ‘Driver’s Ed’ For ‘Outer Banks’ Jonas Pate & AGC Studios


Bobby Farrelly is set to direct 'Driver's Ed,' a new teen comedy for 'Outer Banks' co-creator Jonas Pate and Stuart Ford's AGC Studios.

While we’d reported in October that Sporkinfeesten, a “finding your roots” style family vacation comedy loosely inspired by true events, would be Farrelly’s next project after Aaron and Will Eisenberg’s hot spec landed at Amazon MGM Studios, Driver’s Ed has gained traction first and moved to the top of the filmmaker’s docket, with casting underway for an early 2025 shoot in North Carolina. Prior to that, he took the helm on Champions, a heartfelt Focus Features comedy, starring Woody Harrelson and Kaitlin Olson, about a basketball coach working with a team of players with intellectual disabilities. At the tail end of its busiest year to date, independent content studio AGC has Justin Kurzel’s true-crime thriller The Order, starring Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan and Jurnee Smollet, coming up for release in the U.S. on December 6.
