New Line’s has tapped documentarian Nanette Burstein (“American Teen”) to direct romantic comedy “Going the Distance,” with Adam Shank man and Jennifer Gibgot producing through their Offspring Entertainment outfit.
New Line bought Distance in July in a preemptive purchase from tyro writer Geoff La Tulippe, who has been a script reader at New Line for four years. The film will center on a couple trying to maintain a long distance relationship while one lives in Chicago and the other in Los Angeles.
The project will reteam with Shankman and Gibgot with New Line after they produced the upcoming 17 again. Shankman also directed and executive produced New Line’s Hairspray with Gibgot.
Bursteing’s other documentary credits include “The Kid Stays in the Pictures” and “On the Ropes,” for which she received an Oscar nomination.
