Code Entertainment is making the romantic comedy Atom and Eve about a young computer scientist whose boyfriend just broke up with her and she feels like she's got to show her parents that she can get a quality guy. So, instead, she sets out to convince her parents that her A.I. humanoid bot is really her boyfriend. Let's face it, relationships would be easier if you could program your girlfriend or boyfriend - it would definitely be easier to decide which movie to see ("My boyfriend can't wait to see The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2!").
Code purchased the spec script from the writing duo of Ethan Furman and Adam Farasati who are quickly making a name for themselves. The team also wrote Paramount's remake of the John Candy summer vacation comedy Summer Rental and The Creepy Kid (great title, no?) for Montecito and Magnet.
