Maybe this IS the 'Pierre, Pierre' project with a new name? Don't know what to think, there's so little information.

Nope, that's wrong. That part of the text is not about "O'gunn", it's about the Dan Eldon project through the company of Julia Roberts. O'gunn seems to be a comedy.

As part of its PR at Cannes, Reliance Entertainment announced the purchase of the comedy spec script "O'Gunn" from writers Ed Cannistraci and Fred Seton:

Jim Carrey is attached to star, and his company will produce. Carrey will play a psychopathic Scottish cop who follows his nemesis to America to attempt to prevent a disastrous crime.

Script sold for $750K against 1.5M. Writers are repped by Dan Aloni and Greg McKnight (CAA), managed by Category 5 Entertainment, and their attorney is Jeff Frankel.
