Lionsgate has hired new screenwriter Andrea McCloud to write its workplace comedy Cover Your Assets, says The Hollywood Reporter. Jon Shestack and Ginny Brewer are producing.
Described as a reverse Working Girl, McCloud’s pitch explores modern gender-role complications in a story about a wealthy and powerful female executive who gets involved with a new guy.
McCloud wrote a spec script titled Abbie & Weber 4ever while studying screenwriting at UCLA that garnered buzz and helped her get the “Assets” gig.
