Fox Feels ‘Good’ About Green Pilot

By Josef Adalian

Fox is high on “Pineapple Express” director David Gordon Green.

The network has greenlit a pilot presentation for “Good Vibes,” a half-hour animated comedy written by Mr. Green. The project, from 20th Century Fox TV, is described as a coming-of-age story told against the backdrop of a beach community.

Mr. Green is partnering with Mike Clements ("The Life and Times of Tim"), Tom Werner ("That '70s Show") and Brad Abelson to executive produce "Vibes."

“Good Vibes” represents Mr. Green’s first big stab at TV comedy. He wrote and directed the 2007 Sundance feature “Snow Angels,” as well as “All the Real Girls” and “George Washington.” He’s currently adapting the Brad Land memoir “Goat” as a feature.
