Sale was a competitive situation that drew multiple offers from studios.
Kevin Walsh will produce through his banner, the Walsh Co., along with Indian Paintbrush's Steven Rales and Mark Roybal. Faxon and Rash will also serve as executive producers. Wiig's deal is being negotiated.
The writers have a long working relationship with Wiig from their days performing with Los Angeles improv troupe the Groundlings. Roybal and Walsh both started their film careers working for Scott Rudin.
In addition to writing a second script for Fox Searchlight and Alexander Payne, Jim Burke and Jim Taylor's Ad Hominem Enterprises, Faxon and Rash will make their directorial debut this summer with their Black List script "The Way, Way Back," with Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney set to star. The pair also work in front of the camera. Rash is a series regular on NBC's "Community." Faxon on Tuesday was cast as the co-lead in the Fox comedy pilot "Ben Fox is My Manny."
Walsh, who was one of Variety's 10 Producers to Watch last year, is producing that pic, as well as James McTeigue's revenge thriller "The Gringo." Walsh is also producing the political action-thriller "Patriot Down" and the comedy "King Dom," co-written by "The Break Up" scribe Jay Lavender.
Wiig is coming off an Oscar nomination for co-writing "Bridesmaids." The laffer grossed more than $288 million worldwide.
Indian Paintbrush is poised for a busy year, backing Paramount Vantage's "Jeff Who Lives at Home" and David Chase's "Not Fade Away," Focus' "Moonrise Kingdom" and "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" and Fox Searchlight's "Stoker." Company is gearing up to shoot Jason Reitman's "Labor Day" with Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin set to star.
Faxon and Rash are repped by CAA and Principato-Young Entertainment, while Wiig is repped by UTA and manager Naomi Odenkirk. Walsh is also repped by CAA. Peter McPartlin of Indian Paintbrush negotiated the deals.

Secondly, it sounds like FOM is rather manipulative and expects people to meet their qualifications, and if someone's past does not meet their golden standards they cast them aside. That is not the kind of person you want to try and bend to please, because you will end up feeling very poorly about yourself. You also don't want to change for someone or go out of your way to please someone at the beginning of a relationship - that means that you simply are not a good fit! F might be in the midst of doing that right now, and as a friend, you may want to raise your concerns to them. F might not know how to talk to you about it and may not know how to ask for your advice, especially if they know that FOM has been talking to you. They may feel like they don't know where their friendship stands, given that FOM is talking to you, and for all we know FOM is manipulating the situation on that end as well.
If I were in your situation, I would stop talking to FOM for a bit. I wouldn't be mean about it and simply say, "I'm busy", and so on. Then seek out F. If that's where your empathy is, and that's where you want to focus your energy, seek them out and just say that you're concerned, that you care, and that you're willing to talk about it. And just remind them that there are so many people out there that are worth waiting for, and dating around is not something to be made to feel bad about. If anyone makes you feel bad about who you are, then that person is already bad news.
