Sony Pictures has acquired a spec script for an action-comedy called Secretaries Day, and Will Gluck is set to direct and produce. Deadline reports that Sony acquired the spec from Drew Pearce, a scribe whoâs becoming more prolific by the day. The writer has been busy working on Iron Man 3 for director Shane Black and was recently tapped to pen Sherlock Holmes 3âwhich is all but guaranteed to go into production if tracking for A Game of Shadows holds up. The report has no plot details regarding Secretaries Day other than to say itâs an action-comedy, though Iâm assuming it involves secretaries in some action-y way (fingers crosses for ninja secretaries). I was a huge fan of Gluckâs past two movies (Friends with Benefits and Easy A) so Iâm interested to see what he does with the action-comedy genre.Aside from Iron Man 3 and Sherlock Holmes 3, Pearce also did some work on Guillermo del Toroâs directorial project Pacific Rim (which is now finally filming), and wrote an adaptation of Marvelâs Runaways and DCâs The Mighty. The scribe first came to prominence with his ITV2 superhero sitcom No Heroics.
