David Matalon and Andy Vajna have tapped the scripting team of Aaron Rapke and Stewart Kaye to adapt action comedy "School for Scumbags," based on Danny King's novel.
"School for Scumbags" centers on a teen who, after being expelled from a long list of schools, lands at a campus for "misdirected" teens where the teachers are actually professional thieves who teach them to execute the heist of the century.
Rapke and Kaye co-wrote the short film "The Money Shot," which Rapke directed.
Rapke and Kaye are repped by ICM.
