Production Weekly reports that Seann William Scott is in talks to topline the edgy comedy Big Brother, which Luke Greenfield (The Girl Next Door) will direct for 20th Century Fox. The Bourne Identity screenwriter W. Blake Herron penned the script.
The story concerns a selfish businessman who's forced to participate in the Big Brother program and is paired with a tough teen. The two loathe each other, but they develop a twisted father/son relationship once the businessman begins teaching the youth all of the immoral things he used to get ahead in business.
Scott will next start filming Danny Leiner's Gary the Tennis Coach in Austin on October 23. The underdog comedy centers on an overzealous high school janitor who begins coaching a group of misfits to the Nebraska state championship.
