Fox Searchlight as picked up the rights to “Motherf***er,” a comedy project to be written by 27-year-old writer/director Daryl Wein and 28-year-old Zoe Lister Jones.
The creative duo were the writers and stars of the 2010 micro-budgeted indie breakout hit “Breaking Upwards” which received some favorable notices, including some from the New York Times, earlier this year. Wein will also direct the project like he did ‘Upwards’ and his previous documentary, “Sex Positive.” The story focuses on a guy “who falls in love with a girl. When she brings him home to meet her parents, he falls for his girlfriend’s mom.” Sounds like a concept-comedy out of the Apatow or Duplass milieu.
Deadline reports that the duo also have another script in the works called, “Lola Versus” that also may up at Fox Searchlight and it has Anne Hathaway attached, who is apparently a fan of their work.
