Rashida Jones' graphic novel miniseries FRENEMY OF THE STATE has been picked up by Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment, Variety reports.
Jones will be co-writing the script with Will McCormack and producing credits go to Brian Grazer and Eric Gitter.
The adventure revolves around a young wealthy heiress who works undercover for the CIA. Jones co-wrote the original comic, published by Oni Press.
"It's intended for a girl much younger than me, about age 20, an interesting age for girls as they make that scary jump to adulthood," Jones told Variety. "She has lived a life of privilege, attended the best schools and learned every language, but her obsession with spying on exes gets her into trouble and she is recruited to be a spy in exchange for not going to prison. There is a comic element to it, this girl who is so conscious of social standing and wearing the right shoes, suddenly becoming responsible for these dangerous, life-threatening missions."
