David Spade Inks Script Deal with TBS
February 1, 2010 by Stage Time Magazine
TBS has closed a deal for a pilot script from comedian-actor David Spade, Sony Pictures Television and Happy Madison Productions for an animated version of the popular movie The Adventures of Joe Dirt. The project, entitled Joe Dirt, will follow the exploits of a mullet-sporting, muscle-car-loving loser with a heart of gold.
The pilot script for Joe Dirt will be written by Spade, Fred Wolf and Donick Cary. All three will serve as executive producers, along with Doug Robinson of Happy Madison Productions. Happy Madison Television currently produces the CBS comedy Rules of Engagement and is shooting the Nick Swardson sketch show for Comedy Central and a comedy pilot for Fox from Adam Goldberg and Seth Gordon.
