Exclusive: Peter Guber’s Mandalay Pictures has optioned Scott Speer’s screenplay Charlie 3D about the first fully, 3D-printed man and his search for identity and love. This project, which has one of the more cool and original premises, will be produced by the production company’s Jason Michael Berman. Novelist Tommy Wallach is coming aboard to do a production polish on the screenplay for an anticipated start later this year with Speer at the helm.
This is the first major project Speer and Berman have worked on together, though they have known each other for about a decade because they both went to USC School of Cinematic Arts and graduated only a couple of years apart. Although they worked together on small projects in college, this is their first feature film.
