LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Veteran filmmaker Ivan Reitman is executive producing a new half-hour comedy for Fox TV called "That Guy," about a man who refuses to grow up.

"That Guy" is about 35-year-old man who decides to embrace a "second puberty" and start living his life like a 21-year-old, the Hollywood Reporter said.

Reitman pitched "Guy" to several networks with the script's writers, Josh Lobis and Darin Moiselle. A studio deal has not yet been signed, the Reporter said.

"I've wanted to bring my particular comedic point of view to television and find a show that allows me to do that," Reitman said. "I thought 'That Guy' certainly sounded like the right one."

Reitman begins shooting the movie "Super Ex" with Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson in October in New York.
