The Girlfriend Equation [Disney - Projet Abandonné]

Voici un nouveau projet annoncé par The Hollywood Reporter.
L'histoire vraie d'un étudiant d'Harvard qui tente de trouver l'amour de sa vie, grâce aux mathématiques.
On apprend dans l'article que le producteur, Andrew Panay a d'autres projets pour Disney, notamment Something Cliqued et Father Figures.
On se croit revenus dans les années 80, quand Disney ne produisait quasiment que des comédies.

The studio has acquired the pitch, based on the story of a Harvard grad student who attempted to identify and woo the love of his life through math.
The studio has picked up the pitch, based on a story that appeared on Public Radio International’s This American Life, with scribes Tim Rasmussen and Vince Di Meglio on board to write. Andrew Panay is producing via his Disney-based Panay Films with This American Life host Ira Glass executive producing.

Girlfriend Equation is loosely inspired by the true story of a Harvard grad student who attempted to identify and woo the love of his life through complex math equations.

Alex Ankeles will oversee for Panay Films.

Panay is making a niche for himself at Disney with his comedy projects. Earlier this spring he, along with Underground Films, set up teen comedy spec Something Cliqued and is also developing Father Figures, a comedy spec by Laurie Craig about a father and stepfather who misplace their son.

Rasmussen and Di Meglio, repped by UTA and Mosaic, worked on the Robin Williams-John Krasinski rom-com License to Wed as well as Marmaduke. They also have the comedy Father of the Brides set up at Warners with David Dobkin attached to direct. Panay is also producing that later.

Certes, on ne sait rien du film, mais vu comme ça, j'ai tendance à me demander si l'échec du Grand Soir ne leur a pas suffi !
