Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin is working with (500) Days of Summer writers Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber to develop a new romantic comedy at ABC, according to Variety. Friends with Benefits is about a group of twentysomethings who can be more than friends but not officially dating. Dobkin will direct if the pilot is greenlit.
