Writers ready to go 'Wild'

By Adnan Tezer Jun 10, 2009, 20:26 GMT

DreamWorks has hired Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to write  "Cal of the Wild."

According to Variety, the script would be a comedy that pokes fun at the reality TV genre, especially such shows as "Survivor."

Developed at DreamWorks, the film revolves around Cal Tanner, the deceitful star of a cable TV survival show, who is forced to keep himself and his female assistant alive when they're put in an actual survival situation.

Goldstein, whose credits include writing for the CBS sitcom "The New Adventures of Old Christine," and Fox's "Bones" and former "Freaks and Geeks" co-star John Francis Daley have previously sold their comedy scripts "The $40,000 Man" and "Burt Wonderstone" to New Line.

They also worked on a rewrite for the Scott Rudin-produced "Hours of Fun."
