Adam Brody Hired to Star in and Executive Produce Dramedy THE KID DETECTIVE
Adam Brody (The O.C., Shazam!, Ready or Not) has signed on to executive produce and star in the upcoming dramedy The Kid Detective. Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged) will star alongside Brody, with Evan Morgan writing and directing. Variety shares the following synopsis for the story:
Brody will star as a once-celebrated kid detective, now 31, who continues to solve the same trivial mysteries between hangovers and bouts of self-pity until a 16-year-old client (Nelisse) brings him his first “adult” case: to find out who brutally murdered her boyfriend.
I think this sounds like a pretty good story. It has a good opportunity to cover drama and suspense, while delivering a few laughs; the whole package, as long as it’s done well. The Kid Detective is set to begin production at the end of next month. Does this sound good to you?
