Disney may have lost its studio chief yesterday when Rich Ross resigned, but it’s business as usual as the studio has just acquired the spec screenplay Ground Control to Major Tom by Jason A. Micallef (Butter).
Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) is attached to direct the romantic comedy. No plot details are known, and despite the title being one of the lyrics of David Bowie’s Space Oddity, it isn’t clear how the script relates to the song, if at all. The song is about a fictional astronaut named Major Tom, although it isn’t known if astronauts or outer space figure into the plot of this project, and it hasn’t been suggested the script is a director ‘adaptation’ of the song.
Seth Gordon is directing Identity Thief next, which starts shooting on Monday, so it’ll be a while until he gets round to this one. (Source: Deadline)
