Paramount Lands ‘Guys With No Friends’ Comedy Script From Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont After Bidding War (EXCLUSIVE)
Following a bidding war, Paramount has purchased "Guys with No Friends," a spec script from Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, in a seven-figure deal.
Kaplan and Elfont, the writer-director duo behind films such as “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Josie and the Pussycats,” have spent the past few years focused on television, creating the series “Mary+Jane” for MTV and the Streamy Award-winning “Liza on Demand” for YouTube Originals. The R-rated “Guys With No Friends” underscores Paramount’s ongoing effort to revitalize the theatrical comedies, with other upcoming films including “Reality Vice,” the Liam Neeson-led “Naked Gun” reboot, a new “Scary Movie” with the Wayans Brothers and an untitled feature from Kendrick Lamar, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. “When four socially awkward, middle-aged men are reluctantly pushed into a ‘man date’ by their fed-up wives, their evening spirals into a series of unexpected and chaotic misadventures across the city,” reads the film’s official logline.
