Disney Hire Writers For 'The Last Lap' Comedy

[Friday, August 26th, 2005]
Ron Burch and David Kidd have been hired by Walt Disney Pictures to write the comedy The Last Lap, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The feature is based on the real-life story of Leonard, a Chicago-based feature correspondent for NBC's "Today" who dropped everything and rented an RV to travel across America for a month, taking his funny and eccentric parents to see the places and people who shaped their lives.

Following them in another RV were Leonard's three grown children, including a daughter who gave birth at journey's end.
