Bad Teacher turned out to be one of the bigger comedy successes of the summer, grossing over $200 million worldwide on a budget of only $20 million. It seems director Jake Kasdan is hoping he can strike it lucky again by reteaming with Bad Teacher screenwriters Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg for a new untitled comedy at Sony Pictures.
According to Deadline, the movie is about the manager of a budget hairdresser, who convinces his best friend to break up with his fiancée. He then unexpectedly falls for the ex-fiancée, and begins trying to juggle his friendship and budding new relationship. Oh great, yet another comedy about an asshole, who we’re supposed to find funny.
Stupnitsky and Eisenberg are also said to have been trying put together a Bad Teacher sequel, although nothing has materialized so far.
