Gurland, repped by WME and Principato-Young, is now in pre-production on Gurland on Gurland, a first-person documentary comedy written, directed and starring him, which received a pilot order at Showtime.

ANOTHER semi-autobiographical project from Andrew Gurland in addition to GURLAND ON GURLAND? Someone is a little full of himself.
Finally — SOMEONE is doing a show about the life and loves of a small group of 20-somethings.
It’s about fucking time, broadcast networks!!!
What is it about all these nerds that makes them think audiences are clamoring for a travelogue of their failed relationships? If I read one more “based on his real-life experiences” log line I’m going to pull out my own fingernails.
Nellie, is it me or has NBC been buying up a storm this season?
“Real life experiences” are all the nets will buy. It’s very frustrating these days to be a tv writer who didn’t have a wacky dating life. It’s a real failure of imagination on the executives’ part, and why tv comedies are so shitty.
This guy is a regular Woody Allen. Except he’s not funny or interesting and no one knows who he is. He CO-WROTE The Last Exorcism and he looks like he’s 50 years old. Perfect network material. He must have compromising photos of Will Ferrell or something.
Good for you Andrew! F*** all the haters. This guy has been working hard for a long time and he’s a talented mofo, so suck it.
Ask. ANYONE who’s worked him and they will confirm that Andrew Gurland is unlikable, unfunny and arrogant. His real life story might interest himself but you know who’s not interested? AMERICA.
