MGM has acquired the rights to Chandler Baker’s upcoming novel “The Husbands” with Kristen Wiig attached to star and produce a feature film version for Plan B Entertainment. Baker will adapt for the screen and executive produce.
The story follows an overworked mother who, while house-hunting in a nice suburban neighborhood, meets a group of high-powered women with enviably supportive husbands.
When she agrees to take on a legal case involving the untimely death of one resident’s husband, she risks exposing not only the secrets in her own marriage, but the true secret to having it all – one worth killing for.
Wiig, seen earlier this year in “Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar,” is currently shooting the “MacGruber” series.
