DreamWorks and Red Hour are teaming on the comedy "
In Deep" as a potential starring vehicle for Ben Stiller. Mark Romanek is attached to direct the project, which is based on an original screenplay by George Beckerman.
Steve Conrad ("The Pursuit of Happyness") has been tapped to do a Page One rewrite/reconceive of Beckerman's screenplay, which chronicles the nightmarish tale of a man who fights a parking ticket and becomes increasingly enmeshed in criminal allegations. Sources peg Conrad's deal at $1.6 million against $2.5 million.
