BERT ROYAL SETS DRAMA AT CW, WARNER BROS. TV
Posted: Tue., Oct. 18 By CYNTHIA LITTLETON, 2011, 11:00am PTCW has pacted with “Easy A” scribe Bert Royal and Warner Bros. TV to develop an action-thriller “Dare.” Royal is penning the script for WB-based Lin Pictures. He’ll exec produce with Dan Lin and Jennifer Gwartz.
“Dare” revolves around a group of six young adults who are forced to play a deadly game of Truth or Dare.
“Dare” marks Royal’s second development prospect for the upcoming pilot season. He’s already set up a half-hour, “The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth,” at ABC Studios with Jennifer Garner’s Vandalia Films banner.
On the feature side, Royal recently sold a spec comedy “A Thousand Words or Less” to Fox Searchlight, which he is attached to direct.
Royal is repped by Paradigm and managed by R.E.D’s Dana Jackson.
