David Magee (Mary Poppins Returns) and Laura Solon (Office Christmas Party) are on script duties.

Filmmaker Paul Feig is eager to get his monster movie Dark Army off the ground, but it sounds like Universal Pictures is still figuring out how it wants to approach its library of monster titles. One may recall that, a few years ago, Universal was developing an interconnected universe approach to the Universal Monsters. The Tom Cruise-fronted The Mummy was to be the first film to kick off this MCU-style franchise, but when The Mummy crashed and burned critically and commercially, Universal pulled the plug on the “Dark Universe.” The studio subsequently changed tracks, eschewing an interconnected universe …
Filmmaker Paul Feig has made a lot of comedies over the years—and female-driven comedies at that—but most of his stories aren’t so concerned with romance. His most recent feature, 2019’s Last Christmas, was his first fully blown romcom (of sorts), but by and large Feig has eschewed romance because, as he puts it, he’s more interested in “what makes a fully formed person.” And that’s exactly why he sparked to Sam Boyd’s idea for a TV series called Love Life. The HBO Max original series (which will be available at launch on …
There was a lot of pressure riding on Bridesmaids ahead of the film’s release in 2011. Ridiculous but true, the future of female-driven comedy itself was placed on the success or failure of Bridesmaids. If the film was a hit, studios would invest in other female-driven comedies. If it failed, they’d point to Bridesmaids as the reason it was too “risky.” Yes, I know, it’s insane, but the pressure was real. Luckily it all worked out. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo's script was a sharp, funny, and sweet story about friendship, and Paul Feig …
Filmmaker Paul Feig is probably best known for co-creating the iconic TV series Freaks and Geeks and writing and directing hit films as varied as Bridesmaids, Spy, and A Simple Favor, but he was also responsible for helping steer the direction of the U.S. The Office—in particular, he was a key player in the episode that shifted the tone of Steve Carell’s Michael Scott character from an insufferable asshole to an insufferable guy who means well. Indeed, in the first season of the U.S. version of The Office, Carell’s Michael Scott was very much …

Filmmaker Paul Feig is one of the few directors who’s proved adept at not only navigating various genres, but maintaining a visual, cinematic flair while doing so. The co-creator of Freaks and Geeks is responsible for helming some of the most memorable episodes of The Office, but he first made a splash on the feature film stage with the 2011 comedy classic Bridesmaids. He followed that up with a pair of terrifically rewatchable comedies—The Heat and Spy—and then steered the unfairly “divisive” reboot of Ghostbusters. The latter film was unjustly mired in toxic fandom, but the …
Filmmaker Paul Feig has successfully navigated a variety of genres thus far—comedy, action, thriller, Christmas movie—and for his next trick, he hopes to tackle a classic Universal monster movie. Last fall, we learned that the Spy and Ghostbusters director had pitched an original monster movie to Universal Pictures called Dark Army, which would combine original characters with the iconic Universal monsters. At the time, Feig said he was about to turn his script in to Universal Pictures and hoped to make it as his next film. So when I got on the phone with Feig recently to talk …
