EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures-based Fake Empire has acquired Let It Snow, a pitch package that includes rights to an anthology of three intersecting short stories by young-adult novelists John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. The script will be written by Jordan Roter, and the goal is to turn it into a teen Love Actually. It revolves around what a crippling snowstorm does to one town on Christmas Eve. The film will be produced by Paramount-based Fake Empire partners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who bought the pitch through their discretionary fund. Fake Empire’s Lis Rowinski brought in the project. Face Empire has set several projects since landing at Paramount, including Fun Size, which Schwartz will direct, and Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick.

Roter, who’s repped by WME and Underground, is already in the Paramount fold. She set up Camp Rules there, adapting her own novel into a film that has Kristen Kiwi Smith attached to direct and Montecito producing. Separately, Paramount and producers Gil Netter and Brad Weston hired Roter to rewrite How Could You Do This To Me.
