Peter Hedges to helm and script "The Odd Life of Timothy Green"

Peter Hedges will write and direct "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The idea came from Ahmet Zappa who produces with Scott Sanders and is a modern-day fable.

The plot details are being kept under wraps. Zappa is a principal at Monsterfoot Productions as well as running Kingdom Comics.

 Mara Jacobs is executive producing the project. Hedges wrote the Steve Carell comedy "Dan in Real Life" and received an Oscar® nomination for his co-writing efforts for "About a Boy" starring Hugh Grant. He is working on the drama "Everything Changes" starring Tobey Maguire. Columbia distributes that film.
