Universal Acquires The Adventurer's Handbook

February 12, 2009

Universal Pictures has acquired The Adventurer's Handbook, a script for a comedy that will star Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman, reports Variety.

Hill wrote the script with Matt Spicer and Max Winkler, inspired by the book by Mick Conefrey.

Hill also enlisted Akiva Schaffer, who is negotiating to direct.

The Adventurer's Handbook is a comedy in which a quartet of pals go on a global adventure, inspired by the hardcore stories of explorers whose tales are chronicled in Conefrey's book.

The plan is to start production later this year; Hill, Spicer and Winkler will be executive producers.

Jake's friend really does look like Akiva. I totally thought he was Akiva when I first met him. It wasn't until I saw him and Akiva standing next to each other that I realized it wasn't him just using a fake name.
