New Line Cinema is in talks to pick up the rights to the classic U.S. sitcom Three’s Company, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that the studio has tapped Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein (He’s Just Not That Into You) to write the script for a feature film adaptation.
Based on the British series Man About the House, Three’s Company starred Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers as two single women who take in a male roommate, played by John Ritter, who has to pretend to be gay to appease their landlord. The show aired between 1977 and 1984 on ABC.
According to THR, New Line and producers Robert Cort and Don Taffner Jr. are looking to retain the 1970s setting for the movie adaptation.
