Paramount has purchased Mike Reiss’ spec script The Man Who Knew Too Much for Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo to produce through their Happy Madison Productions. The story has been described as a Capra-esque comedy-drama about the relationship between a woman and an avid reading homeless man with an amazing memory. This is the first major transaction at Paramount involving new president Gail Berman, and it could be a seven-figure deal for Reiss, an Emmy-winning writer and producer on The Simpsons.
