Ben Stiller has signed up to direct scam dramedy Help Me Spread Goodness.
Developed by Participant Media, the story follows a Chicago banker who is swindled by a Nigerian Internet scam, with focus on issues in the country and across Africa.
Mark Friedman’s script is apparently a drama, but has “comic overtones”.
Stiller will likely find a spot for the film once he’s cleared his busy schedule – he’s due to make yet another entry in the Meet The Parents franchise (Little Fockers) and has lined up the job of directing The Trial Of The Chicago 7 too.

yeah why not, sounds like it could be half decent if he does it right, meaning that it doesn't get stuck in a middle ground where it isn't funny enough to be a comedy but then isn't serious enough to be a drama
