Bringing up a new project to the surface, the Motion Picture Group, Inc., a production finance and services company, has announced on Wednesday, August 23 that it has successfully optioned the original screenplay of "April in December" and intends to develop it as a big screen feature with an eye for a 2007 start.

A collaborative work of Michele Alexander and Tyla Berchtold, the screenplay is the first effort coming out of the duo's creative minds. Alexander herself has previously been known for her book of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" which was turned into a film feature of the same title by Paramount in 2003 with Donald Petrie at helm.

While there is still no word on either cast or director, it has been revealed that the movie's story will take center on a high-powered professional who thinks she is losing her mind when she starts seeing otherworldly characters. As she realizes, this havoc wreaked on her career turns out to be the very thing she needs to not only find her heart again, but also to regain professional success and fall in love.
