Fox Buys PREMATURE MATURATION Pitch described as 'Big meets The Hangover'

Movie Fox by Eli Reyes

Last November, Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly sold Paramount a pitch for The Misadventures of Fluffy, a social comedy that centers around a road trip through New York featuring talking animals, which Eddie Murphy is attached to produce, and may also star in.

Now /Film is reporting that the writing duo has apparently sold another comedy pitch, which is being compared to another road-trip themed movie, The Hangover. So what is special about this, when meanwhile, Hangover director Todd Phillips, and breakout star Zach Galifianakis, just wrapped up shooting another road-trip comedy Due Date, with a couple Academy Award nominated and winning actors, Robert Downey Jr and Jamie Foxx?

The pitch, called Premature Maturation, puts a twist on the crazy male hijinks by adding an element of the Tom Hanks movie Big... or Jennifer Garner's 13 Going on 30. The story follows an ensemble of middle school kids who transform into adults and get into crazy misadventures.

Word is that Fox bought Premature Maturation for mid-six figures. There's no director or cast attached, but Pitman and Cole-Kelly will likely pen the script.

What do you think of the idea for PREMATURE MATURATION?
