Originally a Will Ferrell vehicle
Variety reports that director Peter Segal (Get Smart) is in talks to helm Neighborhood Watch, a supernatural comedy scripted by Jared Stern (Bolt) and being produced by Shawn Levy for Twentieth Century Fox. (What their idea of “supernatural” entails however has yet to be determined.)
Originally set up as a starring vehicle for Will Ferrell, the film focuses on a newcomer to a community who joins the neighborhood watch and discovers supernatural elements are afoot. No word on production yet, but if we hear a bit more about the “supernatural” aspects of this story and they sound cool, we’ll keep you posted.
