Project is the second Sher and Shamberg have set up at CBS Films. They're in production on true-life medical drama "Crowley," directed by Tom Vaughan and starring Brendan Fraser, Harrison Ford and Keri Russell.

Pennekamp and Turpel have written "Wedding the Winterbottoms" for Media 8, "Duck for President" and "Summer School" for Par and "Secret Agent Men" for Universal.

They’re repped by CAA along with Shamberg and Sher.
