The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Megan will be joining Jon Hamm & Kristen Wiig in Friends With Kids, an ensemble comedy from Jennifer Westfeldt. Westfeldt wrote the script and will star as well as produce with her partner Jon Hamm. She will also direct with Mike Nichols and Jake Kasdan, who are executive producing.
They have already casted Adam Scott and Kristen Wiig. The movie revolves around a pair of thirtysomething best friends who observe the toll that having kids has taken on the couples they know and resolve to bypass the stress by having a child and then date other people.
Scott and Westfeldt will play the lead couple; Wiig and Hamm will play another. A third couple has not been cast. Megan will play a girl who Scott begins to date.
Cinetic Media’s John Sloss, who is handling sales says:
It’s a very literate script and when Jen met with her, she thought Megan was spot on. When (Fox) picks the right part, she has tremendous value.
The movie is set to release theatrically in April of next year. From the sounds of it, it doesn’t seem that Megan will have a huge role in the movie but we can’t really say until we hear more information. In case you’ve headed over to imDB you’ve seen that Megan also has a movie titled Wish Wizard under her credits in which they also have Brian casted in. No confirmation on whether or not that is true or not. To be honest, it looks like a hoax to me. Pretty excited for Megan to get another movie role that’s for sure.
