Spec script sale: “Desperados”

Universal picks up comedy spec script “Desperados” from writer Ellen Rapoport:

The story is set in motion when a woman sends an indignant e-mail to her new beau, who’s gone silent after they have sex. When she discovers he’s comatose in a Mexican hospital, she races south of the border with her friends in tow to intercept the e-mail before he recovers. The project has been described as a female-oriented “Hangover.”

Looks like The Hangover has become the new Die Hard: Where it used to be “Die Hard in a submarine… Die Hard in a drug store,” now it’s “a female-oriented The Hangover… senior citizens oriented Hangover.”
