Amazon Studios Movie Development Slate Spotlight: Comedies (and a Musical)
Earlier this month, Amazon Studios announced the projects on its Development Slate. Some have top producers attached, some have open writing assignments, some have test movies — and all are moving forward.
Over the next three days, Hollywonk will highlight them, grouped by genre (including action and sci-fi/drama). Here’s a closer look at the comedies, and a musical that will have the whole family laughing:
Premise: A recently unemployed father takes his family on vacation in Hawaii and discovers that their car was previously rented by a master thief who has stolen a priceless artifact. The father uses the car’s GPS to take his family on a wild treasure hunt.
The Amazon Studios Take: The Detourist promises an amusing family vacation film with charming humor set against fun, exotic and imaginative landscapes. With relatable characters and themes surrounding family values, this movie delivers an adventure comedy geared for all ages.
I Think My Facebook Friend is Dead
Premise: When a computer nerd’s Facebook crush goes AWOL, his misfit friends help him put aside his fear of the outside world and journey across the country to save her.
The Amazon Studios Take: I Think My Facebook Friend Is Dead is a hilarious and contemporary script full of snappy dialogue and quirky internet-themed antics. The script is an endearingly romantic and timely road-trip comedy that will leave you LOLing.
