Glen Powell Producing R-Rated Teen Comedy ‘The F—-boat’ at Paramount (EXCLUSIVE)

“The Running Man” and “Chad Powers” star Glen Powell is producing an R-rated teen comedy feature, “The Fuckboat,” at Paramount, Variety has learned exclusively.

Described as a “high concept” project “in the vein of ‘Risky Business’ and ‘Easy A,'” “The Fuckboat” is a comedy written by Caroline Glenn and Sean Doherty and produced by Barnstorm’s Powell and Dan Cohen.

The spec script for “The Fuckboat” was acquired by Barnstorm in a competitive deal with multiple bidding producers vying for the movie. Skydance-owned Paramount landed the feature film project after the script was finalized by Powell and Doherty and then shopped around to buyers. The additional plot details for “The Fuckboat” are being kept under wraps.
