Variety reports Universal Pictures has acquired The Adventurer’s Handbook, a script for a comedy that will star Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman. Hill wrote the script with Matt Spicer and Max Winkler, inspired by the book by Mick Conefrey. Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod) is in negotations to direct with production starting later this year.
Plot: The comedy involves a quartet of pals who go on a global adventure, inspired by the hard-core stories of explorers whose tales are chronicled in Conefrey’s book.
Hot Rod was one of the awesomely worst films I’ve ever seen, I was constantly laughing but it was such a horrible film. This sounds a bit more epic in scale and I really enjoy Schwartzman’s work so I’m looking forward to it.
