Amazon Studios Adds “Sisters” to its Movie Development Slate
Ryan has found the girl of his dreams, and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. But there’s just one problem — or three, actually. So goes the story of Her F’ing Sisters, the latest movie project added to the Amazon Studios Movie Development Slate.
J. Wilder Konschak said he wrote the script because “I really wanted to do something that had strong female characters in it. In comedy, you don’t get to see as many strong female characters, and the nonpolitical side of that is that those characters are very fresh.” Konschak is repped by Jordan Beyer at Original Artists and managed by Jason Weiss.
Some details about the project:
Her F’ing Sisters
By J. Wilder Konschak
Genre: Comedy
Logline: Only three things stand between Ryan and the woman he wants to marry: her sisters.
Why we love it: This is a really fun, well-written script with great characters, lots of comedy and heart.
Amazon Studios intends to add projects to its Movie Development Slate on a regular basis. If you have an original script that you’d like to see considered, you may submit it privately or publicly. The Amazon Studios team will evaluate each submitted script and in 45 days decide whether or not to pay $10,000 to extend the initial option by 18 months and add the project to the development slate.
Three projects on the Movie Development Slate have producers attached: Touching Blue (Denise Di Novi, Crazy, Stupid, Love.), Original Soldiers (Bill Gerber, Gran Torino) and Children of Others (Oscar winner Edward Saxon, Silence of the Lambs).
