Scott, Grace locked on ‘Cockblocker’
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Seann William Scott and Topher Grace are attached to star in a comedy with the MPAA-challenged title of “Cockblocker.”
The Paramount Pictures story follows a guy (Grace) who meets the girl of his dreams, only to find out that her best friend happens to be her ex-boyfriend (Scott).
The studio beat out three other studios for the project, which will be written by Greg Coolidge, whose only produced credit is Disney’s “Sorority Boys.” Sources say his deal was worth a $1.25 million advance against a $1.85 million payout if the film is produced.
The intent is to shoot “Cockblocker” next year in partnership with Paramount’s sibling studio MTV Films.
Scott was last in theaters with “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Grace, best known for his role as Eric on Fox’s “That 70’s Show,” is gearing up to star in “Spider-Man 3.”
