Mosaic goes into 'Business'

New Line to produce Hewitts' pitch 'Her'

New Line has bought comedy pitch "None of Her Business" from scribes Cindy and Donald Hewitt for Mosaic Media Group to produce.

Story revolves around a corporate exec who's fired but gets her job back after she disguises herself as a man. Workplace romp turns gender office politics upside down.

Mosaic's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producers. Mosaic execs Alex Ankeles and Gloria Fan brought the pitch in.

New Line's Luke Ryan and Michelle Weiss will oversee for the studio.

The Hewitts penned screenplays for the English-language adaptations of Hayao Miyazaki's animated "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Spirited Away."

Other upcoming Mosaic projects include "Get Smart" at Warner Bros. and a bigscreen adaptation of vidgame "God of War" at Universal.
