New Line’s getting into the child rearing business, buying the comedy pitch Birth Mother from Seth Bass and Jonathan Tolin.
It’s the unusual story of a couple who are desperately trying to get pregnant, and after months of unsuccessful tests, turn to the wife’s domineering mother to carry a child.
"Going to Lamaze classes with your mother-in-law isn't something that most people would go though, but it is something everyone can relate to," Bass told Variety, suggesting that he has an odd concept of what people relate to.
There’s no director attached yet.
