Schnabel and Stuckey writing ‘Coma’ comedy

I find it hilarious that the guy who directed ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’, Julian Schnabel, and the guy who directed ‘The Love Guru’, Marco Schnabel, have the same last name. Â  This way, whenever the guy who directed ‘The Love Guru’ has a new project, and the reports just use his last name, art house geeks get all in a lather until they realize what’s really going on. Â  Just me. Â  I’m sick.

Anywho, the guy who directed ‘The Love Guru’ is teaming with Larry Stuckey, the guy who wrote the upcoming ‘Little Fockers’, to make a comedy called ‘Girlfriend in a Coma’.   The film will be a  satirical high school comedy that looks at an unlikely romance.   Michael McCullers, who wrote and directed ‘Baby Mama’ and 3 Arts will produce the project.

Schnabel and Stuckey met and honed their chops under comedy veteran Jay Roach. Schnabel was a second-unit director on Roach’s ‘Meet the Fockers’, and Stuckey was an associate producer on the 2004 film.
