Olivia Wilde has joined the upcoming comedy “The Change Up” with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman.
We hope this one lives up to its promise, as it carries a solid comedy pedigree behind the film in “The Hangover” scribes Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, and with David Dobkin (“Wedding Crashers”) directing. The film will follow “a married man (Bateman) who switches bodies with slacker best friend (Reynolds). Wilde will play the married guy’s law firm co-worker, who’s an impetus for the body switch.” Yeah, the body switch thing is still a bit of a hard sell but we’ll give it a whirl.
The film goes in front of cameras this fall and is one of about five thousand things in Ryan Reynolds day planner to do.
I know I'm not the first person to note this, but while those guys are technically credited with writing "The Hangover," it was Phillips and his writing partner that were the true voice of the film.
