So screenwriters Aline Brosh McKenna and Simon Kinberg have sold an untitled pitch to Paramount for a cool $2 million, through a first-look deal with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot shingle, according to Variety. Mum's the word on the plot, but the two scribes — who met on a production rewrite of the forthcoming Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey — are seemingly a weird fit, as even Abrams acknowledged. "These two writers couldn't be more different; the genres they write seem almost diametrically opposed," he said. "But they came to Bad Robot with a pitch that thrilled us." So, given their respective filmographies, and the purchase price, it has to be a femme-centric spy thing, right? Probably not an Alias movie, but something in that vein, no? With comedic undertones. If there's not at least a sizeable genre component, the cash register doesn't ring for that amount.
