Exclusive: NBC has put in development Brain Trust, a drama from Ringer creators Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder, Neil Meron and Universal Television, where Charmelo and Snyder are under an overall deal.

McG has scored the film rights to Kody Keplinger's coming-of-age novel "The Duff" reports Variety.
The story follows 17-year-old Bianca Piper, a cynical and loyal girl who realises she's very ordinary looking but makes up for it with smarts. She's also been labelled a Duff (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) by slimy school hunk Wesley Rush.
Desperate for a distraction from her troubled home life, she ends up kissing Wesley whose life is pretty screwed up as well. She soon realises she has fallen for the man she hated more than anyone.
McG and Lane Shefter Bishop will produce.

McG isn't the name that comes to mind when I think of a producer for the adaptation of a teen-centric novel about a girl who forms an enemies with benefits relationship with the hot dude she thinks she hates most. But there goes McG, optioning The Duff (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) from 20-year old author Kody Keplinger, which he'll produce as a feature. Variety says McG will produce through his Wonderland Sound and Vision company, along with Lane Shefter Bishop from Vast Entertainment. Wonderland may be the key ingredient here, as the company also has shows like Chuck, Supernatural and Human Target in production, and is putting together the adaptation of I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I want to Be Your Class President, which certainly has a fantastic title. The thing to take away here is that McG quite well may not be the most powerful hand...

Sandra Brown has sold the option on her 1996 legal thriller The Witness to TwinStar Entertainment.
It's the first time in her 27-year career that Brown, who has written 56 New York Times best-sellers and has 70 million copies of her books in print, has made a movie deal.
Broken Road Prods.' Todd Garner (Anger Management) and TwinStar executive vp Lane Shefter Bishop will produce the feature film version, with TwinStar CEO Russell Werdin executive producing.
Brown has turned down several offers to adapt her books over the years. "Some excellent books have been made into excellent movies, but just as often the film renditions were bad," she said. "For decades I've been developing a 'voice' my readers recognize and expect. Lane Bishop approached me with a full understanding and appreciation of that voice."
Witness centers on idealistic public defender Kendall Deaton, who discovers a dark secret in the forest near her small South Carolina town. It leads her to turn state's witness against her white supremacist ex-husband and father-in-law as she struggles to discover whom she can trust.
