Rudd and Scott Want a New Brother



Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott will star in Big Brother, playing a pair of "perpetual aging frat boys" who are court-ordered to participate in the Big Brother program, where they will probably do a lot of inappropriate things with their assigned kids before finally learning a valuable life lesson. George Lucas in Love co-creator Timothy Dowling wrote the script for Girl Next Door director Luke Greenfield. The film is slated to begin filming in April.

Dowling has several other screenplays in various stages of development, including his long-struggling Outsourced project, which was originally set to be Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's follow-up to Wedding Crashers before that movie blew them up to a new pay grade. However, his Coxblocker script is currently moving forward with Scott and Topher Grace and Employee of the Month director Greg Coolidge (yikes). He also has Born to Rock in the works, a book adaptation about a young Republican Harvard student who goes on tour with his legendary punk-rocker dad.

The very busy Rudd will be on screens soon in Night at the Museum, the clam digger comedy Diggers, David Wain's religious comedy The Ten, Reno 911!: Miami, Amy Heckerling's I Could Never Be Your Woman, Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, and How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiance with Jason Biggs.
