MOTHER OF INVENTION is loosely based on a real-life spy who also is a San Francisco single soccer mom with two kids and a nanny. Her kids do not know she is a spy, and she plans to retire by the time the movie comes out. D'Ambrosia and Teves met the woman at a party, and when they heard her story, they saw "movie" written all over it. After persuading the woman to cede her life story, D'Ambrosia showed the idea to Attanasio-Gonsalves, with whom he worked at Sony Pictures Family Entertainment, where he developed family movies. |
