Reese Witherspoon will produce and is attached to star in Universal's upcoming comedy "Pharm Girl," according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Witherspoon would play a woman who scores a job in the pharmaceutical business and slowly starts to understand how the industry really works.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, whose credits include "Bad Santa" and the "Bad News Bears" remake, are writing the script and are in talks to direct the project.

Witherspoon most recently starred in "Four Christmases." Her voice was also featured in "Monsters vs. Aliens." As a producer, the Oscar-winning actress worked on "Penelope," "Christmases" and "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde."

The folks at TrailerAddict posted what looks like an early version of a trailer for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's upcoming comedy "I Love You Phillip Morris." You can check it out right after the jump.

Inspired by a true story, the film stars Jim Carrey as Steven Russell, a talented conman who ends up in a Texas prison, where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

While the preview below certainly looks interesting, it lasts for about three minutes and could use some additional editing. It looks more like a promo clip at this stage.

As for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, their writing credits include "Bad Santa" and the remake of "Bad News Bears," two flicks I absolutely enjoyed.

As far as I know no U.S. release date has been confirmed yet. I'll let you know as soon as I learn more about it. For now, enjoy the preview below.
