Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Universal apparently forked over more than a million bucks for THE ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK written by Jonah Hill, Matt Spicer and Max Winkler. It looks like a package deal with Jason Schwartzman and Hill attached to star and Akiva Schaffer looking to direct. Schaffer helmed the underappreciated HOT ROD and directs most of the SNL Digital Shorts, which are THE reason to watch SNL nowadays.

Anyway, the flick is about four friends who go on a global adventure, following in the footsteps of a group of hardcore explorers who are written about by Michael Conefrey in a novel by the same name.

Sounds like perfect mix of concept and people. I could watch Jonah Hill ride a bus for 2 hours and I'm sure he'd make it hilarious. What do you folks think?
