Future Projects
Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30: a single-camera comedy from executive producer/director Sonnenfeld, the Tannenbaum Company and Sony Pictures Television. The project mostly is based on the personal experiences of Esquire writer David Katz and Esquire editor at large A. J. Jacobs. The show is about a man working at a men's magazine who is reluctant to embrace adulthood and his friend who is an immersion journalist. Al Higgins (Malcolm in the Middle), is set to serve as showrunner/head writer if the project is picked up.
He has become attached to a movie adaption of The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz, about a family of private investigators. Sonnenfeld will direct the movie adaption of the fantasy novel Gil's All Fright Diner with an DreamWorks distribution. He is also developing a sitcom for ABC, Funny in Farsi, based on the book of the same name.
Barry is also is in talks with Warner Bros. to make a live action film adaptation of the DC Comics characters, The Metal Men.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or projects:
“What a prodigious growth this English race, especially the American branch of it, is having! How soon will it subdue and occupy all the wild parts of this continent and of the islands adjacent. No prophecy, however seemingly extravagant, as to future achievements in this way [is] likely to equal the reality.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
