Pic about a comic. Who wrote the script?

A sharp-eyed reader sends along the following:

“THE BETTER MAN” Feature Film
UNIVERSAL PICTURES
100 Universal City Plaza Universal City, CA 91608
PHONE – 818-777-1000
STATUS – Development
PRODUCER: Scott Stuber – Mary Parent – Charles Castaldi
DIRECTOR: Malcolm D. Lee

Follows the story of a successful Los Angeles comedian who reluctantly heads back to the South with his wife and son to reunite with his family. There, old rivalries heat up.

Hmmm… All we can wonder is why the screenwriter isn’t listed. Perhaps the script isn’t written yet. That there would be what “development” means, we suppose. We just hope the comics don’t have lockers.
