Warner Bros. has lassoed Stallions, a comedy spec from reality TV producers Steve Sobel and Alan Wieder, who are making their first foray into feature film. Principato-Young principals Peter Principato and Paul Young are producing.
Stallions tackles 21st century fatherhood through the eyes of four longtime buddies. Three of the friends, all with new babies, struggle with the pressures of being a modern dad: lack of sex, annoying in-laws, changes of lifestyle and identity. Meanwhile, their womanizing bachelor friend, envious of his pals' seemingly more meaningful lives, comes down with an unlikely case of baby fever. The studio is looking at it as a raunchy R-rated comedy.
Sobel and Wieder hail from the world of reality television, where they served as segment producers on Temptation Island and as co-producers on My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance and My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss. Principato-Young noticed their skills in comedy and pushed them into writing the spec, helping to develop it along the way.
