Paul Feig To Direct James Bond-Inspired Spy Comedy ‘Susan Cooper’
By Angie Han/June 19, 2013 4:00 pm EST
Feig chose to follow up the $288 million success of Bridesmaids with another lady-led laffer, the Sandra Bullock-Melissa McCarthy buddy-cop pic The Heat, and now he’s working on yet another. His newest effort is Susan Cooper, about a female James Bond type. Hit the jump for all the details.
Feig wrote the script, and plans to direct and produce. He was reportedly inspired by one of his favorite movies, Casino Royale. The next step will be to find a leading lady. Feigco’s Jessie Henderson and Fox’s Daria Cercek will produce.
Feig’s been linked to a few other projects lately, including the Reese Witherspoon comedy Wish List. However, the fact that Feig’s already looking for a Susan Cooper star suggests this one could move first.
