Pitch sale: “Housebroken”

Walden Media continues to be active in the marketplace by scooping up comedy pitch from writer Adam Sztykiel.

The project, titled “Housebroken,” takes a comedic look at a group of talking animals forced to live under the same roof when the two halves of the couple that owns them moves in together. It’s based on a pitch from “Made of Honor” scribe Adam Sztykiel, who will write the screenplay.

Walden Prez Michael Bostick offers a look into the mindset of a buyer with this comment:

Bostick is seeking to expand the family-film definition to include adult protagonists and appeal.

“This is perfectly representative of the new direction for Walden in its broader definition of what a family film can mean,” he said of “Housebroken.” “It’s a great conceptual comedy with relatable family issues for adults and talking animals for kids.”

Strong story concept? Check. Something adults can relate to? Check. Talking animals for kids? Check.
