The directing team of Andy Delaney and Monty Whitebloom are in final negotiations to make their feature debut on the New Line Cinema comedy "The Ballad of Paul Finley, Accountant," reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is about a mild-mannered accountant who, while serving time for a botched crime, falls in love with his pen pal -- a rebellious teenager with an outlaw obsession. The accountant finds life on the outside more terrifying than prison when she breaks him free and launches them into a romp reminiscent of "Bonnie and Clyde."
