MUMBAI: Seth Gordon, the Four Christmases director is in talks to direct King Dork the high school dramedy based on Frank Portman‘s young-adult novel.
Will Ferrell and Adam McKay‘s Gary Sanchez Prods., which is producing Dork had set up the project at Par Vantage. But with the dissolution of that unit, the project has migrated to Sony.
Published in 2006, Dork centers on teenage misfit Tom Henderson, a student who is tormented by all sorts of cliques and seeks refuge in music. He also attempts to uncover the truth about his late father who died under hazy circumstances while combing through some books.
Gordon has also been signed on to direct Suicide Squad that talks about a heist gone wrong at the Kentucky Derby; the male-centric comedy Mr. Romance and a feature adaptation of Kong that is under development.
