Pitch sale: Untitled Aline Brosh McKenna & Simon Kinberg pitch

Paramount plunks down $2M for an untitled pitch from writers Aline Brosh McKenna and Simon Kinberg:

J.J. Abrams will produce with Bryan Burk through their Bad Robot banner.

Neither Par nor Bad Robot would disclose the plot, or how the different sensibilities of the writers will mesh.

McKenna is known for female-driven fare including “The Devil Wears Prada,” “27 Dresses” and the upcoming Bad Robot-produced “Morning Glory.” Kinberg has an action-drama sensibility evident in the upcoming “Sherlock Holmes” and such pics as “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “X-Men: The Last Stand.”

“These two writers couldn’t be more different, the genres they write seem almost diametrically opposed,’ said Abrams. “But they came to Bad Robot with a pitch that thrilled us. We feel extremely lucky to get to work with this amazing team.”
