FATHER AND GUNS Being Adapted By Peter Craig And Sony Pictures
Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures announced the news of this project today. Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are developing and producing this project along with Denise Robert and Emile Gaudreault, producer and writer-director, respectively, of the original film.
The film is an action-comedy about two father and son cops who can’t stand each other and are assigned to an investigation to infiltrate an outdoor adventure group-therapy camp for fathers and sons. This brings back memories for me of Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon franchise for some reason.
Peter Craig has garnered a lot of attention since his screenwriting debut on The Town. Sony is hoping to capture the same success with Fathers and Guns as Craig did with The Town, which opened to #1 and has taken in almost $90 million domestically to date. Craig is currently writing the screenplay for Bad Boys 3. and is also the author of several books, including “Hot Plastic” and “Blood Father.”
