ANTWONE FISHER - SCRIBE FISHER SET TO FOSTER COMEDY

Screenwriter ANTWONE FISHER - who chronicled his harrowing childhood and troubled youth in the self-titled FOX SEARCHLIGHT feature - is turning to comedy for his next project.

The unnamed NEW LINE project - described as a cross between BIG DADDY meets PROBLEM CHILD - revolves around the comedic dynamic between a foster child and his unqualified caretaker.

Fisher, who grew up in foster care, will draw on his own experiences for the script.

He says, "Since everyone had such a big cry (with Antwone Fisher), I want to give everyone a big laugh."
