Jay Roach's remake of the 1998 French comedy hit "Le Diner de cons" is finally coming together.

According to Variety, Spyglass Entertainment, Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks will team up to develop the film, with Spyglass and Paramount providing the majority of the budget.

Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are on board to star in the project, in which a bunch of friends organize a weekly dinner to which they invite the dumbest people they can find.

The trade says the film will most likely start principal photography in October. "Schmucks" will mark Roach's first big-screen project since 2004's "Meet the Fockers."

Most recently, the filmmaker received a Emmy for his television movie "Recount."

The original "Diner de cons" was directed by Francis Veber and turned into a huge hit. The comedy starred Thierry Lhermitte, Jacques Villeret, Francis Huster and Daniel Prévost. Very funny movie indeed.

Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson are in negotiations to star in James L. Brooks' upcoming untitled comedy for Columbia Pictures.

Reese Witherspoon is already on board of the project, which focuses on a love triangle, according to Variety. Rudd and Wilson would be playing two men competing for Witherspoon's heart.

Other than that, not much is known about the film, which has the working title "How Do You Know?"

Brooks also directed "Spanglish," "Terms of Endearment" and "As Good as It Gets," and he hasn't done a film in almost five years.

Rudd recently starred in "Role Models." He will next be seen in "I Love You, Man." Wilson, one of the leads in "Marley & Me," will appear in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."
