Madonna and Guy Oseary's Maverick Films has tapped music video-turned-feature helmer Nigel Dick to direct Chasing Fate. Acquired in May from scribes Mark Famiglietti and Lane Garrison, the project is a romantic comedy about a successful man whose life unravels after he dumps his fiancee. When she finds sudden fame and fortune, he becomes convinced they were fated to be together and goes on a journey to win her back. Along with Maverick, Sunil Perkash and Zachary Feuer will produce. At the company, vp Brent Emery and executive producer Baron Kidd are overseeing. "This is the kind of movie I've been wanting to get my hands on for years," Dick said. "When I first moved to Hollywood, I spent $12.98 on a book about screwball comedies, and I'm delighted that at long last I'll be seeing a return on my investment. I've even made a promise to the producers that I won't charge them for it in my expenses." Said Maverick president Mark Morgan: "We are thrilled to be working with a director with as keen a sense of pop culture and visual style as Nigel Dick. His tremendous music video background is the perfect fit for Maverick." Dick has helmed more than 200 music videos during his career for such wide-ranging artists as Guns N' Roses and Britney Spears. He also directed the MTV telefilm 2Gether and the S Club 7 film S Club Seeing Double for Columbia TriStar. Dick is repped by Endeavor and Handprint Entertainment's Dannielle Thomas.
