Olivia Munn to star in 'The Baby Maker'

Olivia Munn, known for TV's "Attack of the Show!" and her stint as correspondent on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," is set to star in Broken Lizard's upcoming comedy "The Baby Maker," which Jay Chandrasekhar will direct.

Variety says the film focuses on a married couple struggling to conceive. Paul Schneider plays the husband, who comes up with a plan to rob a sperm bank he used to visit as a young man. Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow penned the script.

For Munn, this won't be the first Broken Lizard flick she's appearing in. She recently showed up in the gang's "The Slammin' Salmon." Her big-screen acting credits also include "Iron Man 2," "Date Night" and the upcoming "Freeloaders."

Jay Chandrasekhar thinks 'Opposites Attract'

Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar is set to helm Bold Films' upcoming comedy "Opposites Attract."

No detailed plot information has been released yet, but the Hollywood Reporter describes the flick as "a body-switching comedy involving a young couple who must 'walk a mile in each other's shoes' in order to make their relationship work."

Not exaclty a new concept.

That said, Chandrasekhar and co. are apparently shooting for an R rating, so don't expect any harmless, cute talk à la "Freaky Friday."

Chandrasekhar's directing credits include "Super Troopers," "Club Dread" and "The Dukes of Hazzard." Broken Lizard's latest comedy is "The Slammin' Salmon," and a "Super Troopers 2" is also in the works.

I personally don't like the Broken Lizard flicks at all, but that's just me. Who knows, maybe this one will actually turn funny.
