The Weinstein Co. is closing a deal to pick up Adam F. Goldberg and Ernest Cline's FANBOYS.

The comedy will center on a group of young, hardcore "Star Wars" fans from the Midwest determined to take their dying friend to Skywalker Ranch so that he can see the seminal sci-fi film in its perfect setting before he dies.

Dan Fogler is set to star. Kyle Newman will direct. Kevin Spacey, Dana Brunetti, Evan Astrowsky and Matthew Perniciaro will produce. Kevin Mann will executive produce.
