My blog is read by Aliens
They lurk around every corner. You look but they disappear.
Yes, the Aliens are here!
Ok so you think I am kidding (or crazy) but now, they are going to make my obsesson into a movie (too bad I didn't write the screenplay).
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures has acquired writer Ben Wexler’s comedy ‘Bobism’ and will adapt the screenplay into a feature film.
In ‘Bobism,’ a shy college kid learns that his blog will be the basis for society a 1,000 years from now unless aliens from the future kill him first.
‘Bobism’ marks the first comedy spec purchase by the studio under the supervision of Mary Parent, Chairperson, Worldwide Motion Picture Group.
The project will be produced by Contrafilm’s Tripp Vinson, Beau Flynn. Adam F. Goldberg will also serve as a producer on the film. Cale Boyter, Executive Vice President, Production and Becky Sloviter, Vice President, Production will oversee the project for MGM. Lisa Zambri of Contrafilm is also expected to participate as a producer on the project in some capacity.
"Ben Wexler found a way to cleverly combine comedy, action and sci-fi genres and play them real,” commented Vinson. “If ‘Midnight Run’ and ‘Terminator’ got married and birthed a ‘Superbad’ child, this is that movie," said Flynn.
A seasoned television writer for the past ten years, ‘Bobism’ is Ben Wexler’s first studio feature. He is currently developing with Happy Madison for Fox and is prepping a television version of ‘Hitch’ with Overbrook for CBS. Prior to his current assignments, Wexler spent four years working on the CBS family comedy Still Standing, while in an overall deal at Twentieth Century Fox.
