Scribe Duane Adler ("Save the Last Dance") has sold his romantic/dramatic pitch "Take Me Home" to Revolution Studios.
Story follows an East Coast fashion designer's stress-induced psychological meltdown and return to the small Wyoming town where she was born, where she's transformed by her unlikely romantic relationship with a country music-loving cowpoke.
"It's really a love story," Adler said, "but it's complicated by the fact that when we go home, we see everything with very different eyes. Everything is changed, because it looks changed, but nothing's changed."
Pic will be produced by management concern the Firm's production division Firm Films' Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson. The country music-driven pic's development will be overseen by Revolution Studios partner Todd Garner.
Pitch is just the latest to sell by Adler. Just last Christmas, scribe sold family-oriented pitch "A Prince and a Girl Like Me" to Dimension Films, all the while busily working on "American Bandstand" for Universal-based Jersey Films. With wife Nian Aster, he's also penning indie project "Jitterbug," set up at Neverland Films.
Adler was repped in the Revolution deal by Innovative Artists.
