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:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
