The pilot will be directed and executive produced by Marc Webb (<em>500 Days of Summer<\/em>, <em>The Amazing Spider-Man<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDavid Nevins, president of Showtime Networks, noted: &quot;This pilot is an exciting change of pace for us. <em>Crazy Ex-Girlfriend <\/em>is built on the inspired comedy and songwriting of Rachel Bloom&mdash;who we believe is ready to break out. She was introduced to us by Aline Brosh McKenna, who has a brilliant, contemporary comedy voice that is spot on as showrunner of this project. And, we were lucky to attract director Marc Webb who is eager to flex different creative muscles after his blockbuster successes.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;I am so happy to be working with Rachel Bloom, who is not just a powerhouse musical comedy talent, but also a fabulous writer and creator&mdash;I feel very lucky to have found her videos online,&quot; said Brosh McKenna. &quot;We are thrilled that Marc Webb, whom I&#039;ve wanted to work with for such a long time, has come aboard as we move forward with the pilot. David Nevins has been a great champion of the show from the second we stepped into his office, and Showtime and CBS have been ideal creative partners. They&#039;ve given us both freedom and support, which is all writers can really ask for.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBrosh McKenna&#039;s credits include <em>The Devil Wears Prada<\/em>, <em>We Bought a Zoo<\/em> and <em>27 Dresses<\/em>.
