Rebel Wilson’s developing comedy set ‘Seoul Girls’ has been picked up for production by Lionsgate. Rebel wrote the script and is set to produce as well.
‘Seoul Girls’ will tell the story of a Korean-American high school girl and her friends who enter a worldwide talent competition to be the opening act for the world’s biggest K-pop boy band. With help from an ex-member of a British girl group and a former K-pop trainee, the girls find their voices on the world’s largest stage.
Wilson is producing her picture via her production banner Camp Sugar, alongside Alison Owen and Debra Hayward through Monumental Pictures, the house behind Universal’s soon-to-be-released ‘Cats’ movie adaptation, which Wilson is part of. Meredith Wieck and Scott O’Brien will oversee the production on behalf of Lionsgate.
Wilson is repped by WME and Sloane Offer.
