Parkes and MacDonald grab a pitch

Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald have combined their powers once more to scoop up an action/comedy pitch that will be developed for production. The two responsible for creating the pitch is scribes Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow.

With a “Tropic Thunder” feel, Trevorrow and Connolly’s storyline involves three actors who are brought in to help bust a DVD-bootlegging operation. When it turns out to be a front for much more nefarious activities, the comedy trio ends up on the run from crooks and cops alike with only their ad-lib skills as weapons (THR).

MacDonald and Parkes have collaborated together as producing partners on many other projects, a couple of those being Dinner for Schmucks, The Uninvited and are attached to Men in Black III and Eat, Sleep, Poop.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
