Point Grey Pictures is teaming with Brunson and her production company Fifth Chance on the upcoming film for Universal Pictures. Alex McAtee is set to produce on behalf of Point Grey under its first-look deal with Universal.
Plot details are kept under wraps. "I'm so excited to be working with Point Grey and Universal on Par for the Course. This is a comedy close to my heart, and who better to do it with than some of the best producers in the game," Brunson said in a statement.
"I've known Seth, Evan, [Point Grey president James Weaver] and Alex for a while and I'm happy to finally work on a project together. Justin Tan is my long-term comedy partner and collaborator, and we are thrilled to have the chance to work together on a film. Stephanie is a talent we are so fortunate to unite with, I can't wait to see what we can do together on screen."
"We're so thrilled at the opportunity to get to work with Quinta," added Rogen. "She's one of our most incredible comedic voices working today, and it's such an honour to get to work alongside her and watch what she brings to this project."
Senior executive vice president of production development Erik Baiers and creative executive Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project on behalf of the studio. A release date is yet to be revealed.
