| Having spent six seasons battling terrorists and generally keeping the world safe, 24 creator Joel Surnow has wisely turned to something rather more sedate for his latest project.
The decidedly Jack Bauer-less romantic-comedy That Face, based on a Surnow screenplay, will be made by Morgan Creek Production, says The Hollywood Reporter.
It’s all about a small-town guy who moves to New York to work at a cosmetics firm, only to be fired on his first day. He gets chance at redemption when, after snapping a beautiful girl on the subway, he decides to promote her as the city’s greatest new supermodel – however, it soon turns out that despite her good looks, her slovenly ways and foul-mouthed temper are going to take a fair amount of polishing. It’s all sounding rather Pygmalion-ish, but Surnow’s attachment to the project (who has usually been associated with thriller and action fare) makes this an interesting proposition. | | Glen Ferris |
