Universal has snapped up "
Jeff the Immortal," a supernatural comedy penned by Chris Bishop being produced by Marc Platt Prods.
"It's about a slacker who discovers he has supernatural powers but uses these new-found powers for selfish reasons," Bishop said.
He said he got the idea after watching "Highlander" -- the 1986 fantasy tale starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery -- and wondering what he and his buddies would do if they got such powers.
