We’re back in the world of Comedy-As-Moral-Lesson as 20th Century Fox has bought Ryan Jaffe’s pitch Change.
The story follows a selfish, smarmy man who always takes advantage of others. But – surprise! – through a “magical twist of fate” (it says here), he’s forced to give it all back and make amends for being such a bastard. That sound you hear is the ghost of Charles Dickens contacting mediums across the country to demand his share of any profits, since this sounds distinctly Christmas Carol-like.
There’s no director, writer or cast attached yet.
