Disney Buys GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM Spec
Disney has picked up a new spec for a potential film called Ground Control To Major Tom. And yes, the title of the film is a line from the David Dowie song Space Oddity.
There's not much information on what the movie will be about, but it will be a romantic comedy written by Jason Micallef and directed by Seth Gordon, who most recently directed the awesome comedy Horrible Bosses. His next film will be Identity Theft with Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman.
The studio paid a mid six figures for this spec, so they must have saw something good in it. We'll find out soon enough.
