Warner Bros. has acquired Weekend Warrior, a comedy pitch that will be produced by Andrew Lazar through his Mad Chance banner. The movie will be scripted by Bill Birch, an actor who is also doing a re-write of the WB pic "Pre-Astronauts," according to Variety. "Weekend Warrior" revolves around an armchair home-repair enthusiast with no construction skills who unwittingly becomes a superhero who fights supernatural forces bent on destroying the world. Idea is to create a "Ghostbusters"-like comic romp that's heavy on special effects. Lazar is currently in production at Warners on "Get Smart," the Pete Segal-directed comedy that stars Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson and Alan Arkin.
