By Molly Driscoll, Staff Writer / January 9, 2013

A behind-the-scenes team is being assembled for the film adaptation of Maria Semple’s bestselling Seattle-based satire “Where’d You Go, Bernadette.”

Producers Nina Jacobson, who is currently one of the producers behind “The Hunger Games,” and Megan Ellison, who served as one of the producers on current Oscar contenders “Zero Dark Thirty” and “The Master,” will be working together on the film. Jacobson’s company is Color Force, while Ellison’s is Annapurna Pictures.

It had earlier been announced that the script will be written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who worked together previously co-writing the film “(500) Days of Summer,” starring Zooey Deschanel, as well as co-writing “The Pink Panther 2” with other writers and co-creating the 2011 TV series “Friends with Benefits,” which aired 12 episodes.
