Details Emerge On James L. Brooks’ Sixth Directorial Effort, Including Rudd & Wilson As Possible Male Leads!!

I am – Hercules!!



James L. Brooks’ sixth project as a writer-director, titled “How Do You Know?”, is about an executive and a baseball pro both chasing the same girl, according to Wednesday morning's Variety.

Paul Rudd (“Role Models”) is being sought for the exec, Owen Wilson (“Marley and Me”) for the ballplayer. Reese Witherspoon (“Four Christmases”) has long been attached as the girl.

Brooks’ five previous directorial efforts are “Terms of Endearment” (which won Brooks three Oscars -- for best director, best adapted screenplay and best picture), “Broadcast News” (Oscar-nominated for best picture), “I’ll Do Anything,” “As Good As It Gets” (Oscar-nominated for best picture) and “Spanglish.”

I love all the Oscar-nominated ones; hopefully "How" will be one of those.

Brooks also co-created "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and scripted the hilarious Burt Reynolds vehicle "Starting Over."

Shooting was set to start in March, but Sony is now looking for a summer start.
