Lionsgate offered a SEVERANCE PACKAGE

Ever wanted to kill your boss?

by Matt Holmes

Lionsgate have bought the rights to the Duane Swierczynski novel Severance Package and set Brett Simon (Assassination of a High School President) the job of writing and directing it. Variety say Simon will work closely with Swierczynski in scribing the adaptation.

The protag is a media relations director of a financial company who learns that the firm was a front for a covert intelligence agency that is being shut down immediately, with every manager scheduled to be terminated--literally.
The movie is being billed as an action comedy. Simon's latest movie The Assassination of a High School President starring Mischa Barton and Bruce Willis currently has no release date attached.
