Disney swims with Pool Rats

Walt Disney Pictures has picked up "Pool Rats," a family comedy to be directed by Andy Fickman. Nichole Millard, Kathryn Price and Fickman are writing the script, which will be produced by Mark Ciardi and Gordon Grays Mayhem Pictures.

The project reunites the creative team — including the director, writers and producers — of Disneys upcoming family comedy "The Game Plan," starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

"Rats" is a semiautobiographical story inspired by Fickmans wild times coaching a neighborhood league swim team during a summer that he says changed both his life and his swimmers. With the shenanigans that ensued, it was hard to see who the bigger troublemaker was — the coach or the kids.

The real events transpired in Houston in the 1980s, but "Rats" will be set in present-day.

Sounds funny.

Sounds like it could be quite a fun film, will be interesting to see who they cast in the film. Probably won't be one of their bigger releases though.
