Letterman’s Company Preps Political Documentary Feature

Oct 29, 2007  •  Post A Comment

Worldwide Pants, late-night funnyman David Letterman’s 14-year-old production company, is getting serious in its first documentary, a film about five American teens running for public office in several states.
“Our company believes that creativity comes in all forms, and we’re excited about how this project portrays young people taking control of their own destinies in a way that’s both innovative and inspiring,” said Worldwide President and CEO Rob Burnett in the announcement Monday.
Production starts this weekend on the still-untitled project, which will be produced with Oscar winning Lawrence Bender (“An Inconvenient Truth” and “Pulp Fiction”) and Balance Vector Productions. Jason Pollock, a former personal assistant to filmmaker Michael Moore, makes his directing debut on the film.
In addition to “Late Show With David Letterman” and “The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,” Worldwide Pants has several comedy, animation, variety/talk and feature projects in active development.
The company’s previous network productions include “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Ed” and “The Knights of Prosperity.”
