In a low-six-figure deal, Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the spec screenplay Hergatory for Andrew Lazar to produce through his studio-based Mad Chance Prods. The project was written by first-time scribe Susan Brightbill, who began her career as an MTV veejay before segueing into acting in such films as Message in a Bottle and The Postman. Both of those films were released by Warners. Hergatory is described as a high-concept romantic comedy about a 30-year-old woman who has been unlucky in love. One day, she makes a wish to go back and re-date her old boyfriends, and it comes true. The wish becomes a curse, however, when she suddenly finds her exes coming back in to her life one by one, but at they ages they were when she dated them, including an 8-year-old and a 13-year-old who is trying to get to second base. During the course of the dates, she finds true love with the one person she least expected.
