Sanchez’s ‚P.E.‘ plays for HBO
Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s recently launched Gary Sanchez Prods. is expanding into television with „P.E.,“ a single-camera comedy for HBO. After a bidding frenzy among a number of broadcast and cable networks, the project landed at HBO in what sources described as one of the pay cable network’s richest development deals, with sizable penalties attached to it. Jody Hill, Ben Best and Danny McBride will write „P.E.,“ which centers on a guy who, after flaming out as a major league baseball pitcher, returns to his small Southern hometown to teach physical education at the middle school he once attended and has to make amends with all the people he turned his back on. Hill, Best and McBride wrote and starred in the indie kung fu comedy „The Foot Fist Way,“ which Hill directed. When the movie screened at the Sundance Film Festival in January, the trio was signed by CAA, the agency that also represents Ferrell.
