Jennifer Lynch to direct 'Visibility'

Jennifer Lynch has landed a new directing gig, and she will bring Allan Loeb's "Visibility" script to the big screen. Lynch most recently helmed "Surveillance," and she directed "Boxing Helena" as well.

Variety says Loeb's script is a supernatural story that follows a detective who experiences a mysterious connection with a trauma-induced amnesia victim. Script is in the vein of "The Sixth Sense."

The script certainly makes "Visibility" a high-profile title. Loeb recently wrote "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," and he's gearing up to adapt Neil Strauss' "Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life."

Kevin James to star in martial arts comedy

This sounds like another opportunity for Kevin James to deliver some fat jokes: the "Grown Ups" actor is now attached to star in an untitled martial arts comedy for Sony. Word is the film shoots next year.

Deadline says Allan Loeb is in charge of the script. James would star as a physics teacher who tries to save his buddy's job and some school programs by trying to earn some money as a martial arts fighter.

Wow! That's all I can say about it right now. James, who also appeared in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," has "The Zookeeper" coming out next year. Loeb's credits include "21," "The Dilemma" and "The Switch."

Bradley Cooper to play baseball in movie

Bradley Cooper is going from shooting guns to playing baseball. The "A-Team" actor is attached to a baseball movie Walt Disney Pictures has picked up via a pitch by busy screenwriter Allan Loeb ("21").

The Hollywood Reporter says the drama follows a baseball player who suffers an injury and heads back to the minors. He then ends up residing in a senior citizens' home, where he meets an old baseball star.

Loeb's credits include "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" and the upcoming "The Switch" and "Just Go with It." As for Cooper, he's got "The Dark Fields" and "The Hangover 2" coming up in the near future.

Vince Vaughn teams up with Ron Howard for film

An occasionally funny actor and acclaimed director team up for a relationship comedy

Ron Howard and Vince Vaughn may soon be working together on a comedy. Wait! A comedy? Yes, a comedy indeed. Okay, Howard is no stranger to comedy (he helmed "Edtv"), but it's definitely been a while since he directed one.

This new project, according to the Hollywood Reporter, follows a dude who finds out his best friend's wife is cheating. He then tries to figure out what he should do with this knowledge. The film is described as a comedy focusing on the dark sides of relationships.

Allan Loeb, whose credits include "21" and "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," wrote the script. Vaughn was last seen in the disappointing comedy "Couples Retreat." As long as this new project isn't as disastrous as "The Break-Up," I'll give it a fair shot. 

Howard last directed "Angels & Demons," a film I admit I still haven't seen. To be honest, I have no desire to watch it, although I probably will one day. Howard is also developing "The Parsifal Mosaic" at Universal, which also handles this untitled project.

Jeff Goldblum set for 'The Baster'

Jeff Goldblum has signed on to star alongside Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman in Mandate Pictures' upcoming comedy "The Baster."

The film follows an insecure man (Bateman) who discovers his best friend (Aniston) plans to have an artifical insemination and secretly replaces her donor's semen with his own.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Goldblum is set to play Bateman's business partner. The trade further describes his character as someone "whose idea of working out is walking slowly on the treadmill while eating a candy bar."

Allan Loeb, whose credits include "21" and "Things We Lost in the Fire," is writing the screenplay. "Blades of Glory" helmers Josh Gordon and Will Speck are set to direct.

Goldblum's recent big-screen credits include "Adam Resurrected" and "Man of the Year."

Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman team for 'Baster'

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman will team up for Mandate Pictures' comedy "The Baster."

Based on Jeffrey Eugenides' short story, the film follows an insecure man who discovers his best friend plans to have an artifical insemination and secretly replaces her donor's semen with his own.

Allan Loeb, whose credits include "21" and "Things We Lost in the Fire," is writing the screenplay. "Blades of Glory" helmers Josh Gordon and Will Speck are set to direct.

As Variety points out, this the second artifical insemination flick we heard about this week. The first one is entitled "Plan B" and will star Jennifer Lopez as a woman meeting her dream guy on the day she's scheduled to have the procedure done.

Aniston is currently onscreen in "He's Just Not That Into You." She most recently starred alongside Owen Wilson in "Marley & Me."

Bateman appears in "Hancock" last year. He will be seen in "State of Play" and "Couples Retreat."
