\nPhil Lord and Chris Miller have come aboard to produce I Promise We\u2019re Cool<\/em>, a high concept comedy that was just set up at Universal Pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\tCharlie Hall, best known for his acting work in such shows as The Sex Lives of College Girls <\/em>and Monster: The Ed Gein Story,<\/em> is set to write the script ,while Max Tzannes, who is part of the filmmaking collective Dirty Shot Clean, is on board to direct.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlot details are being kept under\u00a0wraps,\u00a0but the project is described as a high concept high school comedy with a sci-fi twist.\u00a0Sources also indicate that the project\u2019s story elements are perfectly in line with the Lord and Miller, who wrote and directed 21 Jump Street,<\/em> which featured adult cops undercover in high school, and directed this year\u2019s space-faring adventure sensation Project Hail Mary<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tLord and Miller will produce through their company Lord Miller\u2019s first-look deal with Universal Pictures. The company\u2019s Aditya Sood and Lucy Kitada will also produce.\u00a0Ahkeyah\u00a0Andrada, director of development for Lord\u00a0Miller,\u00a0brought the project in.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTzannes, Jacob Souza and David San Miguel, who make up Dirty Shot Clean, will\u00a0executive\u00a0produce. Senior executive vp of production development Erik\u00a0Baiers\u00a0will oversee the project for the Studio.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n\tHall, who is the son of comedians Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, has amassed a slew of acting credits, including Peacock\u2019s Bel-Air <\/em>and Freeform\u2019s\u00a0Single Drunk Female<\/em>, in recent years. He can currently be seen in Apple+\u2019s dark comedy series Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed<\/em> opposite Tatiana Maslany. Hall has also been slowly building a writing resume, and is developing a scripted comedy series titled C-League<\/em> for Hulu.<\/p>\n

\n\tTzannes has made several making award-winning shorts with his Dirty Shot Clean cohorts, with their feature debut being Et Tu<\/em>, Shakespearean comedy-thriller starring Lou Diamond Phillips and Malcolm McDowell. Tzannes\u2019 follow up feature was Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project,<\/em> co-produced with Radio Silence. The movie caught Hollywood\u2019s attention for its inventive meta take on an indie filmmaker making a found footage movie centered on Bigfoot (think a Christopher Guest mockumentary meets Blair Witch Project<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\n\tHall is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment. Tzannes is repped by UTA, Anonymous Content and Ziffren Brittenham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
