According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, “Four Christmases” director Seth Gordon is in talks to direct “King Dork,” the high school dramedy based on the hit young-adult novel from Frank Portman. Gary Sanchez Productions’ Will Ferrell and Adam McKay recently moved the project to Sony, after initially being at Par Vantage.

“King Dork” centers on Tom Henderson, a teenage misfit who finds refuge in music and seeks the truth behind his policeman father’s mysterious death.

Portman, the former front man of the Berkeley CA punk band The Mr. T Experience, drew high praise for “King Dork” and its portrayal of teenage angst, high school life, and dealing with difficult topics.
