Seth Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg have been hired to rewrite the existing script from Jared Stern. While nothing is confirmed at this point, it’s expected that Rogen would eventually star in the film.
WATCH takes place in suburbia where a bunch of bored guys set up a neighborhood watch to get away from their families and girlfriends. But when they mistakenly stumble on actual danger (say it with me now…) hijinks ensue. The original was written as a more family-friendly comedy and it’s unclear whether Rogen will provide a raunchy spin on the material or stick to the current tone of the script.
