Nickelodeon Movies has picked up "Bro-jitsu," a book proposal from pop scientist Daniel H. Wilson, for an adaptation to be produced by Marc Rosen and Lynda Obst.
Wilson, who holds a doctorate in robotics, is the author of "How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion," which is set up at Paramount, and the new "Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived." With "Bro-jitsu," Wilson plans a comedic instruction manual looking at sibling rivalry using a martial arts approach of offense-defense.
