Fake Empire Comedy Among Latest Pilot Script Sales

Known primarily for its hourlong series, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire has sold a half-hour comedy pitch to Fox. The single-camera comedy about three childhood friends who are all now fathers with teenage sons, will be written by Barry Schwartz who will co-executive produce. Fake Empire’s Schwartz, Savage and Len Goldstein will executive produce for Warner Bros. TV. Fake Empire has 3 series on the air this season, NBC’s dramedy Chuck and the CW dramas Gossip Girl andHart of Dixie. On the feature side, Schwartz, repped WME and the Gotham Group, soldBromance to Montecito and DreamWorks and Parents Weekend to Kopelson Entertainment. Writer-director Nancy Hower and her writing/producing partner, actor John Lehr, have sold a half-hour comedy pitch to NBC. Titled Retreat, the project is set in a corporate retreat. The sale was made based on a demo Hower and Lehr shot, which Hower directed and Lehr starred in. The demo, made in association with EUE/Screengems, was probably helpful, as the duo uses a hybrid scripted/improv style where their scripts are incredibly detailed but dont feature any dialogue. ABC has bought an untitled time travel drama project from writer Scott Veach, with ABC Studios and Warren Littlefield producing. This marks a reunion of all parties. Last year, Veach, repped by CAA and Leverage, and Littlefield developed a drama for ABC and ABC Studios based on the book City of Dreams.
