Lionsgate has acquired a comedy script co-written by “2 Broke Girls” star Beth Behrs called “Wine and Crime” about a group of wine-drinking friends caught up in their own true-crime investigation.
Behrs made her screenwriting debut with “Wine and Crime” and co-wrote the film with Cassie Daniels and Mark Bartosic. It’s the story about a group of baby boomer female friends and true-crime enthusiasts who bond over their shared love of Sancerre and serial killers when suddenly they find themselves thrust into the middle of their own true-crime investigation.
