Gosnell to direct 'Book' for TWC

'Scooby' helmer attached to romantic comedy

The Weinstein Co. has attached "Scooby-Doo" helmer Raja Gosnell to direct romantic comedy "The Book Club," one of the more apparently commercial solo productions in TWC's short history.

Lauren Iungerich and Brad Follmer penned the script. Gosnell and Julia Halperin are producing. No cast has yet been set.

Story concerns a man discovering the dirty secrets of an all-female book club. He enlists their help in getting his estranged girlfriend back in return for not ratting them out to the men in their lives.

In addition to "Scooby" and its sequel, Gosnell has directed "Never Been Kissed" and "Big Momma's House."

Iungerich and Follmer have sold television pilots, but this project would rep their first produced film credit.

Eric Roth, TWC's head of biz and legal affairs, negotiated the deal. Gosnell is repped by CAA.
