Steve Martin And Diane Keaton Reteam For Comedy

Variety:

In a preemptive buy in the high six-figures, Paramount Pictures has acquired "One Big Happy," a comic pitch from "Party of Five" creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman to which Steve Martin and Diane Keaton are attached to star.

John Goldwyn and Lorne Michaels will produce.

Concept is being kept under wraps, but sources describe "One Big Happy" as a family comedy about a couple and a family reconnecting amid various obstacles. The material is a strong match for Martin and Keaton, who played a married couple in the Charles Shyer-directed "Father of the Bride" and its sequel.

Keaton was last seen in the comedies "Mama's Boy" and "Mad Money." Martin next stars in "Pink Panther 2."

Together, Keyser and Lippman are writing "Food Fight" for Working Title and producer Michael London, and they rewrote "Here Comes the Bride" for Disney.

They should release some of Steve's old NBC shows he did in the 80's. Those were and still are funny.

This has horrible written all over it.

There used to be a time when I'd hear there was a new Steve Martin movie coming out and I'd think, "That's probably going to be funny." Now, after soooo many bad choices, I think, "That's probably NOT going to be funny."
