Exclusive: Netflix has acquired feature comedy Student Driver, an original pitch from writer Peter Hoare and Jason Bateman’s Aggregate Films, sources said.
Written by Hoare, with Murder Mystery helmer Kyle Newacheck attached to direct, I hear Student Driver is an action comedy involving a substitute driver’s ed teacher and his students embarking on a madcap adventure.
Aggregate Films produces the movie, now in early development. Tracey Nyberg brought in the project and is overseeing for Aggregate. Netflix declined comment.
Hoare is coming off of his sale of Family Jewels to New Republic, starring Diane Keaton, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn. He was a writer on CBS sitcom Kevin Can Wait and also wrote the screenplay for the Billy Crystal-starring comedy film Standing Up, Falling Down, which premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. He is repped by Verve, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Goodman Genow Schenkman.
