Paramount Pictures has acquired a pitch by multihyphenate Rob Corddry titled THE DONOR, says The Hollywood Reporter. Corddry, a regular on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," will topline the comedy.

The story, which is being kept under wraps, was conceived by Corddry along with "Daily Show" colleagues Stewart and executive producer Ben Karlin. Corddry will pen the screenplay with Brian Huskey and Jason Mantzoukas. Paramount's Gail Berman and Eben Davidson are shepherding the project for the studio.

The deal highlights Berman and Paramount's mandate to mine homegrown talent; Paramount and Comedy Central are sister companies under the Viacom umbrella. Karlin, who also is executive producer of "The Colbert Report," and Stewart are producing the film through their Bus Boy Entertainment shingle. Corddry will executive produce.
