THE LEGO MOVIE Directors Looking to Direct ROSIE PROJECT

Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the directors of The LEGO Movie and 21 and 22 Jump Street, are looking at taking on a new film called The Rosie Project for Sony Pictures. The script for the film will be written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who previously worked on the wonderfully made films (500) Days of Summer and The Fault in Our Stars. It's based on a book written by Graeme Simsion.

The story centers on a man named Don Tillman, "a professor of genetics who may suffer from Asperger’s and has never been on a second date until he embarks upon The Wife Project, designing a questionnaire to help him find the perfect partner: a punctual, non-drinking, non-smoking female who will fit in with his regimented lifestyle. When the unorthodox and free-spirited Rosie appears on the scene, it is clear that she fits none of his selection criteria, but she still may just be the perfect match to help turn his life around."

There's a lot of great talent surrounding this production, and if it all comes together it has the right mix of elements to make for a great movie.
