According to The Hollywood Reporter, Drake Bell and Josh Peck, stars of the hit Nickelodeon series "Drake & Josh," are graduating to the big screen. The duo will star in an as-yet untitled feature being produced by Nickelodeon Movies and the Collective.
Written by Emmy-nominated kids TV show creator Dan Schneider and Steve Molaro, the film will tell the tale of a wealthy but extremely sheltered young man (Peck) who is thrust into the real world and quickly finds himself in over his head. To make up for lost time, he receives a crash course in life experience from a jovial slacker (Bell).
The Collective's Sam Maydew and Michael Goldman will produce, and the company's Aaron Ray and Michael Green will executive produce. Julia Pistor will oversee production on behalf of Nickelodeon Movies.
