Overture Films picks up 'Freshly Popped'

April 09, 2008 The Megan Parsons-written spec project, a teen comedy from the producers of "The Pursuit of Happyness," was picked up for development by Overture. In an unusual turn, newcomer Parsons was actually on a cruise to Antarctica when the spec was sent out and only heard of the sale upon reaching the continent. With the delicious double-entendre of a title, the film concerns a less-than-cool high-school senior with a part-time job at a movie theater who's torn between losing her virginity to a geek who really likes her, a cool guy who probably won't talk to her afterwards and a very attractive jock.
