Rebel Wilson Sells Comedy to Universal

I’m sure you are thinking that Women and Hollywood has become Rebel Wilson’s unofficial fan page. We kind of are, but we can’t help but be super excited that Rebel Wilson is blowing up.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Rebel Wilson sold an untitled comedy pitch to Universal. There are currently no details on the project, except for the fact that Wilson is attached to not only write the screenplay but to also act and produce.

Wilson will next be seen in Struck by Lightning and Pain & Gain. ABC also picked up her pilot Super Fun Night which CBS passed on. Written by Wilson, the show is about three nerdy women who decide to switch up their usual Friday night plans to assumingly hilarious results.
