Fickman, who most recently directed "Race to Witch Mountain," is casting the female-driven comedy and will begin production in Los Angeles in late summer.
Fickman is producing with Eric Tannenbaum and John J. Strauss. "You Again" will be his third consecutive film for the studio, following "Race" and Dwayne Johnson starrer "The Game Plan."
"You Again" solidified as the next film for Fickman as he percolates several others under Oops Doughnuts, the Disney-based shingle he started with partner Betsy Sullenger, who'll be co-producer on "You Again."
Paramount just acquired the Sarah Mlynowski young adult novel "Gimme a Call" for Fickman (Daily Variety, March 23), and Disney attached him to direct an adaptation of "Monster Attack Network" (Daily Variety, March 15).
Fickman and Sullenger are also developing the stage project "Heathers: The Musical," based on the Dan Waters-scripted cult film. Fickman is aligned with the RKO Pictures/Twisted Pictures genre company Roseblood to oversee remakes of four horror pics from the RKO library, including 1943's "I Walked With a Zombie."
