Ghost Dad meets Gone Fishing

Earlier today I had the beginnings of an amazing idea for a movie. This came from a discussion with Todd about how we have been trying to take a trip out of the country together for the past 6 years.

Here's the pitch:

With the Living

International Supernatural Buddy Comedy

Synopsis: Two 80-year old friends (Abe and Tom) dream of taking an international vacation with each other. When they are both killed during a freak Fourth of July parade accident, they begin their new existence as ghosts. One of the benefits of being ghosts is that they can inhabit living bodies for a period of time. Seizing the opportunities they never had while living, they possess two young travelers (Kyle and Jake) and live vicariously through them. However, when Abe and Tom realize that they can commit crimes and never be punished, all bets are off. With the police on their tail, Kyle and Jake wonder why they can't remember the horrible deeds they've done, and Abe and Tom try to figure out what they really need to do to get them into heaven.

Starring: Ryan Reynolds / Dax Shephard / Jack Lemmon (CGI) / Walter Matthau (CGI)

Status: In development
