Steve Martin to reteam with Diane Keaton for From Zero to Sixty
Paramount Pictures has acquired “From Zero to Sixty,” a Steve Martin pitch for a comedy that will reteam him with “Father of the Bride” co-star Diane Keaton.
Robert Simonds will produce.
Simonds pitched Martin’s idea last week to each studio, and Par was the most aggressive in taking it off the table. Martin and Keaton would play a couple in the comedy.

Steve Martin and Diane Keaton teamup. Again.
In a preemptive buy in the high six-figures, Paramount Pictures has acquired “One Big Happy,” a comic pitch from “Party of Five” creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman to which Steve Martin and Diane Keaton are attached to star. John Goldwyn and Lorne Michaels will produce. Concept is being kept under wraps, but sources describe “One Big Happy” as a family comedy about a couple and a family reconnecting amid various obstacles. The material is a strong match for Martin and Keaton, who played a married couple in the Charles Shyer-directed “Father of the Bride” and its sequel.
