I want you to picture Al Franken, shirtless, lingering on a desert island with a bunch of supermodels. Don't think about it too long, both because it's harmful to your brain and beacuse this mental image, thankfully, will never come to exist. But you must know that the almost-Senator from Minnesota wrote the pitch Don't Send Help along with Geoff Rodkey, and now, God save us, it's actually becoming a movie.

Fox has hired screenwriting Cameron Fay to shape the script into something manageable, according to THR, with Soul Men director David Friendly on board as well. Friendly is stepping in for Andy Fickman, who presumably moved on to bigger and better things following Race to Witch Mountain's massive success.

The whole pitch sounds like the definition of a one-note joke, and I'm not sure how much humor can really be wrung out of seeing a guy marvel at the supermodels around him, over and over again. Cameron Fay, work your magic and make me believe in this thing.
