Seth Grahame-Smith Sells John Hughes Style Comedy Spec to FOX

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter scribe Seth Grahame-Smith has sold a spec script to Fox that he wrote with David Katzenberg, Bryan Shukoff and Kevin Chesley. The film is called From Mia With Love, it's described as a John Hughe's style comedy, and Katzenberg will direct the film, but he doesn't have much directing experience.  

According to Deadline, "the coming-of-age comedy is a mix of Risky Business and Weird Science. Some plot elements could change, but the pitched premise had three guys so desperate to lose their virginity that they order up a Russian mail-order bride, figuring they can send her back. She is smoking hot but arrives with baggage and no plans to bed the lads, though she helps the trio become more suitable mating material."

This sounds like it could be a fun comedy. It will be cool to see if they can actually harness the true energy of John Hughes for this one. What do you think about the films concept?
