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. LeeFollows 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.

According to a few different sources, Malcolm Lee wrote it himself. Not sure how standup-savvy the guy is… maybe the best we can hope for is a) the fact that the character is a standup is incidental, and b) he doesn’t turn out to be a crying-on-the-inside whackjob with a horrible childhood. *crosses fingers*-Sharilyn
