Artists Road has landed rights to “Incoming,” a high school comedy starring “The Black Phone” actor Mason Thames. The company, a new joint venture specializing in funny films, is co-financing with Spyglass Media Group.
Dave and John Chernin, who have partnered on “The Mick” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” are writing and directing in their feature film debut. Production is expected to commence this summer. Artists Road and Spyglass landed the rights in a competitive situation.
“Incoming” follows four incoming freshmen as they navigate the terrors of adolescence at their first-ever high school party. Other than Thames, the cast has not been announced.
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” filmmaker Nick Stoller, who directed the upcoming raunchy comedy “Bros,” will produce with Conor Welch through his company Stoller Global Solutions. Additional producers include Artists Road’s principals, Todd Garner, Peter Principato, Ben Silverman and the company’s CEO, Mark Korshak.

Columbia Pictures is in the process of scooping up Judd Apatow, Robert Smigel and Adam Sandler's script You Don't Mess With the Zohan, with Sandler attached to star.
The comedy, developed at Revolution Studios from an original screenplay by Apatow, Smigel and Sandler, follows the exploits of a Mossad agent who fakes his death so he can anonymously move to New York and become a hair stylist. Smigel is penning a rewrite.
Shooting will begin in the summer in Los Angeles and New York for a summer 2008 release.
Happy Madison will produce Zohan through their Sony-based shingle.
Sandler, who most recently teamed with Sony on the hit comedy Click, next appears in the comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and the Sept. 11 drama Reign Over Me.
He is repped by Endeavor, Brillstein-Grey and attorney Scott Sandler.
Apatow, whose recent writing credits include The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Fun With Dick and Jane, also penned the Sandler starrer The Wedding Singer. He is repped by UTA, Mosaic Media and attorneys Sam Fischer and Bryan Wolf.
