Bradley Cooper is a busy man, who always seems to have about a hundred projects on his development slate (and unlike many actors, he actually makes the majority of moves he signs up for). Now he’s added a new one, as Deadline reports he’s developing an English-language remake of the German comedy Kokowaah, which could become his directorial debut is everything works out.
Inglorious Basterds star Til Schweiger co-wrote, directed and starred in the original, with a sequel released a few weeks ago in Germany. The first film was Germanys highest-grossing film of 2011. Kokwaah, ‘explores the relationship between two men carefree bachelor Henry and devoted husband and father Trevor when they are forced to re-evaluate their lives after discovering the reality behind the paternity of Trevors 8-year-old daughter Maddy.’
Black List writers Scott Rothman & Rajiv Joseph are re-writing the screenplay, working from an earlier draft by Chris Shafer & Paul Vicknair.
