Actor Kevin James (I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry), while out doing press for his new comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop, confirmed that he is still actively developing a new comedy called The Zookeeper for MGM.

He said: “There’d been a draft of it and there’d been writers on it but we’re rewriting and working on it now, and I hope to have my fingerprints on it and bring what I can to it… I play a zookeeper-another guy in a uniform, no moustache in this one, we may go very bushy sideburns-I don’t even know, but it’s in the beginning stages of that.”

Scribes Jay Scherick and David Ronn are attached to the project.
