Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson in James L. Brooks’ How Do You Know?
One of my favorite comedy directors James L. Brooks is returning to the screen with a new comedy, How Do You Know?, that will star Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon. According to our friends over at First Showing,
“Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd are in talks to star opposite Reese Witherspoon in what is being called a romantic comedy with a love triangle. Rudd would play a white-collar executive vying for Witherspoon’s affections, while Wilson would play a professional baseball pitcher who is also a love interest.”
Brooks last directed Spanglish, which was a hilarious but sentimental comedy starring Adam Sandler. He also directed, As Good As It Gets, which is one of my favorite Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr. movies ever! Lastly, Brooks directed Terms of Endearment and Broadcast News. His latest project sounds cool especially since he is reported to be directing and writing the project. Paul Rudd is the only issue as he was just announced to be in another comedy, Dinner for Schmucks so scheduling is perhaps a problem for him. The fact that Reese Witherspoon is in this movie is enough for me.
