Rogen-Goldberg Tandem Eyes Superhero Series for FOX and Illuminati Spoof for ABC [VIDEO]
ByDoors are opening for Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg because of their hit TV series "Preacher." Now, the creative duo is looking to create a hit superhero series for FOX and a spoof for the controversial Illuminati for ABC.
Their production company Point Grey Pictures is now with Sony Pictures TV for two more single-camera comedies. Their FOX-based superhero story will follow the life of an MIT graduate who's been sucked into a life of an assistant of a Batman-esque character (genius billionaire by day; masked vigilante at night).
For the ABC-based comedy, the story will follow the life of a couple who struggles to balance their marriage and their life in the suburbs because one of them is Illuminati, Screen Crush reported. Both of these stories have received a penalty deal and script commitment, which translates that Rogen and Goldberg will get paid whether or not their crazy stories will push through.
The story about the Illuminati is set to unveil the secrets of the controversial society. It might be delivered in the comedy genre but it will show exposes about the chic organization that celebrities, such as Beyonce, JayZ, Kanye West and more, secretly belong to, Vanity Fair reported.
The FOX superhero series will be penned by Mike Rosolio from "Lemmings," while the crazy Illuminati spoof will be written by Brad Copeland from "Life in Pieces."
The comedic collaboration of Rogen and Goldberg managed to get a green light for their babies "Preacher" and "Future Man." "Future Man" was made into a series after it was picked by Hulu in September this year. Other than that, the duo is also producing an FX pilot titled "Singularity." Will they be lucky again this time with the stories mentioned above?
Titles of the stories and its production dates are not revealed yet.
