Yo, dad! Wanna direct the movie I wrote? Oh, just about some twentysomethings that find out this kickin’ teacher they had in high school is in a coma so they all start chillin’ again… What’s that, dad? I know your name is Ron Howard. DUH! You will? Sw33t! LOL.

Maybe I took a few liberties with that exchange, but the gist of it is true. It seems as though Bryce Dallas Howard has written a movie with her writing partner/brother-in-law, Dane Charbeneau titled The Originals. The movie sounds much like what a sequel to Dead Poets Society would sound like, with a group of friends in their mid-twenties coming together after hearing that an inspirational childhood teacher of theirs has fallen into a mysterious coma.

According to THR, the script has been picked up by Imagine, Ron Howard’s production company. Apparently Charbeneau gave the script to Bryce’s dad, who ended up liking its potential as a smaller indie flick, in contrast to his usual blockbuster-size films. While the movie isn’t exactly on Ron’s immediate to-do list, it seems as though he’s taking it pretty seriously. Oh, what a father will do for his little girl.
