{TB Exclusive} Dana Fox Will Pen Rom Com “Best Thing That Ever Happened” For Universal

  EXCLUSIVE
〉 Fox was the creator of the critically-acclaimed sitcom Ben and Kate

What Happens In Vegas scribe Dana Fox will pen the script for the upcoming romantic comedy BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED for Universal Pictures.

Marc Platt is producing through his Marc Platt Productions, while Adam Siegel and Ryan Christians will oversee for Universal.

The plot centers around a woman who works as a sort of ‘break-up artist’, professionally helping other women move past their failed relationships. But when she goes through a terrible break-up of her own, the therapist becomes her own worst client.

Fox has plenty of experience in the rom-com space, having served as a producer on the hit show New Girl before creating her own critically-acclaimed but gone-too-soon series Ben and Kate.

She was a producer on this summer’s Hot Pursuit with Reese Witherspoon, and her script How to Be Single, a romantic comedy adapted from Liz Tuccillo’s novel, is currently shooting with 50 Shades of Grey star Dakota Fanning in the lead. Fox is now co-producing Single with Drew Barrymore.

Fox is repped by WME.
