Writers tapped for 'Ratchet'


May 20, 2009 Douglas Cook and David Weisberg have been tapped to pen "Nick Ratchet," one of Stan Lee's POW Entertainment projects set up at Disney. The lighthearted mystery thriller centers on a Jekyll & Hyde struggle between a meek, ineffectual police officer and his online alter-ego, a tough avatar cop named Nick Ratchet who emerges from inside a video game to usurp the life of his creator. Cook and Weisberg, repped by CAA and Benderspink, are veteran scribes with such movies as Michael Bay's "The Rock" and the Ashley Judd starrer "Double Jeopardy" among their credits.
