Paul Davidson’s 27th Hour Nabs Rights To SFGate Article On Taco Bell Art Heist For Film & TV Adaptation
A Taco Bell art heist article from SFGate has been acquired by 27th Hour for film and TV development.
“What starts as a quirky tale about art in a Taco Bell turns into something way bigger – a meditation on nostalgia, capitalism, fandom, and what happens when a chalupa meets a Basquiat,” said Davidson, who along with IDW Entertainment ( Locke & Key, Surfside Girls), is developing film and TV adaptations of the article under 27th Hour. Davidson launched 27th Hour last year after running the entertainment division of publisher IDW, where he oversaw shows such as Netflix’s Locke & Key, Apple TV+’s Surfside Girls, and CBC’s Essex County. 27th Hour’s slate at the moment also includes a remake of the 1984 cult classic Electric Dreams with Exhibit A’s Seth Gordon & Julia Gunn and Black List screenwriter Brian T. Arnold writing; indie sports comedy Gleek, directed by Jim Hosking and produced alongside Tim Heidecker’s Abso Lutely Productions and Better Luck Tomorrow co-writer Fabian Marquez; an adaptation of bestselling author Suzy Krause’s I Think We’ve Been Here Before; a series spin-off of Robert A. Heinlein’s JOB: A Comedy of Justice with Startling, Inc.; and a film adaptation of the upcoming Julian Hanshaw-illustrated sci-fi graphic novel H2O from Top Shelf.
