Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson, who wrote and directed Dimension's upcoming Parental Guidance Suggested, have set up their second directing vehicle with Bill Todman's Level 1 Entertainment.
Titled Trucker Academy, the comedy revolves around two white-collar professionals who lose their jobs and decide to become long-haul truckers.
Epstein and Jacobson will pen the high-concept screenplay, which is described as in the vein of Stripes and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, from their original idea.
Level 1 recently produced the comedy Strange Wilderness, which will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Epstein and Jacobson, whose credits include Sony's Not Another Teen Comedy and Fox Atomic's upcoming sports-themed comedy The Comebacks, also are writing 20th Century Fox's Crash Test Dummies for producer Barry Josephson. The duo also are developing a comedy project at the Walt Disney Co.
The pair are repped by UTA and attorney Ken Richman.
