Dave Green just made a deal with Disney for his feature directorial debut.  The studio declined to release a logline, but Variety describes it as a “wolf adventure.”  Do you need to know any more?  They ought to title it Wolf Adventure and call it a day.  Andrew Panay (When in Rome) will produce; the plan is to start production this fall.  Given the fresh director and the original property status, Variety speculates this will be a low-budget affair, perhaps in response to the money Disney poured into developing their Snow White remake before halting production earlier this evening.

Green comes from the world of commercials and music videos.  He made a minor splash in industry circles with his comedic shorts Pinkberry: The Movie and WME Staff Meeting, which stylishly mock Hollywood agencies.  Both are embedded after the jump.

National Treasure director Jon Turteltaub is in negotiations to direct and produce the romantic comedy Unreasonable Doubt for Universal. THR reports that the studio recently acquired the comedy from screenwriter Marc Klein (Serendipity) and is setting the film up with Andrew Panay (Wedding Crashers) to produce alongside Turteltaub.

The film centers on two jurors who fall in love during a court case. When Steve spoke to Turteltaub last summer, the director was about to read the first act of National Treasure 3. Not much further has been reported on the sequel as of late, and with Turteltaub signing on to Unreasonable Doubt, one would assume that the third Treasure film is a ways off.
