Former The O.C. regular Chris Carmack is in negotiations to team with Amanda Bynes in the romantic comedy Lovewrecked for helmer Randal Kleiser. Media 8 Entertainment is producing along with the recently relaunched Bacon & Eggs from a script by Stephen Langford. Lovewrecked finds Bynes as Jenny, an 18-year-old who is ecstatic when she learns that her favorite rock star -- to be played by Carmack -- is a guest at the tropical resort where she is working for the summer. When they are both thrown overboard during a cruise, Jenny finds herself stranded alone with him on what they think is a remote beach. Media 8's Stewart Hall is producing with Bacon & Eggs' Joe Anderson and Wendy Thorlakson. Carmack is best known for his role as Luke Ward on the freshman year of Fox's hit series O.C. His other credits include a starring role opposite Dennis Hopper in the USA Network original telefilm The Last Ride. He is repped by Writers and Artists Group International, managers Ted Gekis and Daniel Ribera and attorney Matthew Thompson at Stroock, Stroock & Lavan.
