The tentatively titled "Fun" is the story of two childhood
friends who ordered a slew of novelty toys (such as X-ray
glasses, Sea-Monkeys and transforming robots) from the back
pages of their late-'70s comic books. Thirty years later, the
toys begin living up to their wild advertising claims, forcing
the pair to save their town from the ensuing chaos.

"Bones" star Francis Daley (known for his role on "Freaks
and Geeks") and Goldstein ("The New Adventures of Old
Christine") sold their comedy spec script "The $40,000 Man" to
New Line in 2007. The studio has signed Terry Zwigoff ("Ghost
World," "Bad Santa") to direct.
