Disney Acquires Romantic Comedy Pitch THE GIRLFRIEND EQUATION

Disney is currently prepping and moving forward with a romantic comedy pitch entitled The Girlfriend Equation. The pitch is based on a story recounted on Public Radio International’s This American Life. THR reports that Tim Rasmussen and Vince Di Meglio (Marmaduke) will write the screenplay for the flick. The story centers on a Harvard grad student who worked to identify and woo his soul mate through mathematical equations, so it’s like A Beautiful Mind, but for kids! Alex Ankles is overseeing the project for Panay Films.
