David & Tea Are Born To Rock
Posted on 14 August 2008 by brian
Hollywood couple David Duchovny and Tea Leoni are going to be making some sweet music together. The duo’s production company And Then Prodcutions has sold a script to CBS Films.
CBS has acquired the comedy spec Born to Rock from writers Jess Walter and Mark Steilen, with Duchovny, Leoni and Dan Cortese producing and And Then’s Susanna Jolly on board to exec produce.
The project revolves around a group of struggling, aging rock musicians who, because of a mixup in their demo tape, end up catching a record exec’s attention for a children’s song written on a lark, then find unlikely success as a Wiggles-type children’s band.
Duchovny, who described the project as “rock ‘n’ roll meets the sippy cup crowd,” said that the mix of older musicians playing youth-oriented music had relevance. “It speaks to a cultural phenomenon that is happening right now in music,” he tells Variety.
