Obvious Child was one of our favourite movies last year, so we’re pleased to see the team reuniting on a new project. This time, it’s a TV pilot for a road trip comedy that will star Child’s Jenny Slate alongside Ari Graynor.
The film’s director, Gillian Robespierre and producer, Elisabeth Holm have written the script and will kick off filming the pilot this week, launching the story of two women who become friends, make a film together ands then go on a trip together.
Though it doesn’t yet have a name, it does have the backing of US cable network FX, which provides a home for the likes of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. If the pilot is successful, it’ll go to series on the channel.
Slate will next show up in Joe Swanberg’s new film Digging For Fire and is attached to indie comedy My Blind Brother. She’s also been writing a script for a new Looney Toons outing. Graynor was last seen in The Guilt Trip and spent some time appearing in the TV spin-off of Bad Teacher, which ran for a truncated initial season last year.
