A high-concept
comedy, which drew interest
from all major broadcast
networks, has landed at Fox with
a put pilot commitment. Titled
The Henchman, the single-
camera comedy project was
written on spec by Dan
Kopelman (Rules Of Engagement, Malcolm In The
Middle), with feature writer-director John
Hamburg ( Meet The Parents franchise, I Love
You, Man) set to direct and Aaron Kaplan of
Kapital Entertainment executive producing.
Described as a live-action, grounded comedy in
the vein of Despicable Me, The Henchman
centers on a henchman to the world’s worst
super-villain who deals with single parenthood
and impending middle age. The project is yet to
be laid off at a studio, with Fox sibling 20th
Century Fox and Warner Bros. TV considered
strong possibilities.
