Universal 'Eco-Challenge' Ameil And Beglar

Untitled: Eco-Challenge Project
Screenwriting partners Jack Amiel and Michael Begler have sold an untitled pitch about an eco-challenge to Universal Pictures, reports Variety.

Scribes, who came out of TV writing and have recently penned a number of high-profile studio features, will be paid in the mid-six figures.

The story centers on a group of dissatisfied twentysomethings who seek to reinvent themselves by participating in an eco-challenge -- a lengthy endurance race over adventurous terrain.
