Dean Parisot, director of the upcoming "Fun with Dick and Jane" and the still-awesome "Galaxy Quest," has signed with WB to helm "The Bill From My Father," a high-concept comedy written by Bob Nelson.

"Loosely based on an upcoming memoir by Bernard Cooper, "Bill" is a character-driven comedy about a hardworking father who is so upset by his son's decision to quit his high-paying job that he presents him with a bill for the cost of his upbringing. The movie will explore the theme of the universal expectations between parents and kids. Parisot will further develop the script with Nelson."
