Disney nabs 'All About Adam'

Studio purchases Schoolcraft, Simons script

Disney has made a preemptive six-figure purchase of "All About Adam," a spec script by Alan Schoolcraft and Brent Simons. Scott Rudin will produce the project.

Spec follows the biblical Adam as he trails Eve to modern-day Gotham after they have a lover's quarrel. Adam discovers Satan was behind the breakup.
