CBS Films has acquired Jess Walter and Mark Steilen’s comedy spec “Born to Rock” says The Hollywood Reporter.
The project revolves around a group of struggling, aging rock musicians who, because of a mixup in their demo tape, end up catching a record exec’s attention for a children’s song written on a lark, then find unlikely success as a Wiggles-type children’s band.
David Duchovny and Tea Leoni’s And Then Productions are on board to produce, the company having conceived and developed the script with the scribes.
