Movie Buzz: Disney Developing Detective Movie

For those of you who like Disney and to watch detectives at work on the big screen, you're in luck. Looks like Disney has acquired an untitled project that will feature a reluctant female detective.

The project is to be penned by Ashley Bradley, a relatively unknown and untried screenwriter. Marc Guggenheim, best known for co-writing "The Green Lantern," is also on board as producer as part of Collider Entertainment.

Collider Entertainment was launched at last year's Comi-Con; this is the first project on tap at a studio for that fledgling company.
