Not much is known about the plot except that Jeremiah Friedman and Nick Palmer's pitch is being described as a four-quadrant action comedy set in space, that will apparently be a two-hander rather than an ensemble. So maybe an outer space buddy comedy? And of course, if all works out Dreamworks sees it as the potential start of a franchise, but first they need to find a director.
Maybe this will see Johnson reteam with Kevin Hart? The two are currently filming the CIA comedy Central Intelligence. Johnson will also voice the lead character in Disney's animated musical, Moana. [THR]
