Blumhouse TV and producer Jamie Lee Curtis are partnering on the comedy based on The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist, in which more than $14M of Quebec’s national maple syrup reserves stolen in 2011 and 2012. "The Sticky revolves around Ruth Clarke, a tough, supremely competent middle-aged Canadian maple syrup farmer who’s had it with being hemmed in by the polite, bureaucratic conventions native to her country’s identity," per Deadline. "Especially now that that very bureaucracy is threatening to take away everything she loves: her farm, her comatose husband, and her right to manifest destiny. With the help of Remy Bouchard, a pint-sized local blockhead and an aging and Mike Byrne, a low-level mobster, Ruth changes her fate — and transforms the future of her community with the theft of millions of dollars’ worth of maple syrup."
