Shawn Levy is attached to direct and produce the dramedy Father Figure at Fox 2000. 'Scandalous!', we hear you cry! How can he possibly take on a new project when he is supposed to be working on the follow-up to Night at the Museum? What will happen to this precious sequel if his attention is divided? How can he possibly create something as engaging and hilarious and splendiferous as the original if he is distracted by other trifling matters???
The Father Figure screenplay is in the process of being rewritten – or will be when the writers eventually down placards – but the story centres on a successful bachelor who boldly offers to care for his widowed sister and her daughters in the aftermath of a family tragedy.
No casting is currently in place.
