New Line Cinema, who has been in the market for a new comedy, has recently purchased a pitch that is all about Me.
New Line Says Me, Me, Me,
According to Variety, New Line Pictures has purchased Johnny Rosenthal's comedy pitch titled Me, Me, Me,. The comedy set New Line back a high six figures with the picture house immediately transferring the film over to producer/director/actor Shawn Levy and Tom McNulty. The two will produce Me, Me, Me, under their 21 Laps banner.
It is currently unknown if Shawn Levy will also direct the film. Having a portfolio of comedic films under his belt including The Pink Panther, Cheaper by the Dozen and Big Fat Liar, Levy is definitely able for the task.
Me, Me, Me, tells the story of the world's most obnoxious narcissist, who wishes people could be more like him and then enters a living hell when his dream becomes a reality. Rosenthal developed the project with 21 Laps president McNulty, who originated the concept.
"We all know people who think the world revolves around them," Levy said. "The idea of literalizing that wish, and all the unexpected consequences attached to it, feels like rich comic ground."
But what if the world REALLY does revolve around you?
