Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman 'Change Up'

Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman have boarded the cast of David Dobkin's upcoming comedy "Change Up." Jon Lucas and Scott Moore ("The Hangover") wrote the script, and the story is a familiar one: a responsible guy (Bateman) switches bodies with his buddy, a lazy man-child (Reynolds).

Reynolds is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's busiest actors. The star from "The Proposal" has "Buried" coming soon, as well as "Green Lantern" and "Deadpool." Bateman recently appeared in "Up in the Air" and "Couples Retreat." (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)
