'Play Dates'
Danny Bigel's production company has bought the film rights to mommy lit novel "Play Dates" by Leslie Carroll. Bigel will produce.
Story is about a twentysomething Gotham mom whose husband leaves her for an older woman. Struggling to adjust to her new life as a single mother, she finds that her six-year-old has a more active social life than she does.
Bigel Entertainment is shopping for a scribe to adapt the novel.
Launched last year, the L.A.-based Bigel Entertainment also is developing bestseller "Never Change" by Elizabeth Berg for Sharon Stone to direct. Project will mars Stone's directorial debut.
