MGM has picked up BenDavid Grabinski's action comedy script "
The How-To Guide for Saving the World," with "Men in Black" director Barry Sonnenfeld attached to direct and produce.
"World" tells the story of a loser who discovers a book on how to prevent an alien invasion and then has to put that knowledge to use when one actually occurs. Grabinski's script landed enough votes among executives to make this year's unofficial Black List of "most liked" screenplays.
