“Scott Pilgrim” producer Eric Gitter and Imagine’s Brian Grazer have acquired the rights to “Frenemy of the State,” an Oni Press comic book created by “Parks & Recreation” star, and light of our lives, Rashida Jones. The series focuses on a wealthy heiress in her early 20s who starts to work for the CIA – Jones tells Variety “She has lived a life of privilege, attended the best schools and learned every language, but her obsession with spying on exes gets her in trouble and she is recruited to be a spy in exchange for not going to prison.
There is a comic element to it, this girl who is so conscious of social sanding and wearing the right shoes, suddenly becoming responsible for these dangerous, life-threatening missions.” Jones will write the screenplay, along with writing partner Will McCormack, who previously collaborated with the actress on the rom-com “Celeste and Jesse Forever,” currently being developed by Overture.
