WB Acquires Script For FREE GUY Writer Matt Lieberman's Family Comedy Adventure MEEBO AND ME
In a competitive bidding war, Warner Bros. ended up acquiring a spec for an original comedic family adventure titled Meebo And Me. The project comes from Free Guy scribe Matt Lieberman and the film will be produced by Kenya Barris.
In Meebo And Me, “a divorced dad goes through great lengths to get his son the hot new toy, an adorable robot. But when the other toy robots rise up against their owners, the dad and his defective robot set out to save his son and the world while building a profound friendship along the way.”
That sounds like a fun take on a story about robots rising up against their owners. It seems like it could be an entertaining adventure. Strangely, it’s not hard to imagine myself teaming up with a defective toy robot to save my kids. It totally seems like a situation that I might find myself in one day.
