Working Title is picking up Suicide Squad, a spec by Christopher Dean Johnston. The comedy centers on an ex-con who scores a job at a suicide crisis hot line. Looking for respect and a healthy payday, he recruits a ragtag group of suicidal outcasts to help him knock over a horse track. ICM-repped Johnston wrote the action comedy Pants on Fire, which is set up at the Walt Disney Co. with Rachel Pfeffer producing, and Hard Look, which is at Alcon Entertainment. He began his career as stand-up comic in Chicago and Los Angeles.
