Dan Hernandez is livin’ the suite life…
Paramount Pictures has selected the Cuban American writer and Benji Samit to pen The Villas.
The project, produced by Atlas Entertainment, is loosely inspired by Neil Simon’s play and 1971 film Plaza Suite.
Similarly, the film centers on several relationship stories all taking place in a hotel. This time, though, the location is a group of neighboring high-roller villas in Las Vegas, similar to The Mansion at the MGM Grand.
Hernandez and Samit recently wrote and produced on the first season of Netflix’s One Day At A Time, and are currently writing on the ABC/Sony Television pilot Come Together.
The scribes started writing together as undergraduates at Brown University.
