They came up with the idea to have Jason Biggs have sex with a pie. Now, brothers Chris and Paul Weitz are working a development deal with NBC. They're creating two single-camera comedies. One is called The Trail, about a group of friends that become bored with their lives and decide to ditch everything to hike the Appalachian Trail. The brothers are actually working on that show with another pair of siblings, Mark and Jay Duplass, who made the low budget movie, The Puffy Chair (which has a terrific script but the shaky camera work made me woozy). The other show in the works for the Weitz brothers is Terrible Life, about an incompetent guardian angel who gets one last chance to prove his worth.
