For his next project, the untitled New Line project,
is set in the world of foster care and revolves around
the comedic dynamic between a foster child and his
unqualified caretaker. In the Hollywood parlance of
the 'pitch' the flick is described as 'Big Daddy'
meets 'Problem Child'.
Fisher, who grew up in foster care, will draw on some
of the real goings-on in foster care for the script.
The project is designed as a starring vehicle for
a black star.
'Since everyone had such a big cry (with 'Antwone
Fisher'), I want to give everyone a big laugh', Fisher
said in an interview. Robert Simonds will produce.
The project reunites Fisher and Simonds, who worked
together on the comedy '00 Soul', which Fisher co-wrote
with Chris Tucker, who was going to star.
The project was set up at Universal Pictures with
Mariah Carey co-starring, but it never came to fruition.
Fisher also has worked with New Line, having done
some uncredited rewrites on the Tucker vehicles 'Money
Talks' and 'Rush Hour'.
