Screenwriters Nat Faxon and Jim Rash are the toast of Hollywood after winning the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for The Descendants, and now they have even mroe reason to celebrate, as ShowBlitz reports they’ve sold an action-comedy to Indian Paintbrush, which has Kristen Wiig attached to star.
No plot details have been revealed regarding the project, although the script sparked a competitive bidding situation between a number of studios, before Indian Paintbrush secured the project. Both Nat Faxon and Jim Rash have a working history with Kristen Wiig, going back to their involvement in the famed L.A. improv company, The Groundlings.
It isn’t clear when production might begin on this untitled action-comedy.
