Reese Witherspoon, the most commonly used named whenever a film needs to attach a lead actress to a project (Kidman used to own the title) is being linked for her acting abilities and producing capabilities to Terrel Seltzer’s original screenplay. If Reese’s publicist reads this, please drop me a line and let me know which title on this long grocery list is she no longer “attached” to.
Seltzer (who hasn’t seen a produced screenplay since One Fine Day) sold Rule #1 to Fox Searchlight – the company who is currently seeing red with the horribly conceived Amelia. Brad Epstein (Dan in Real LIfe) will produce the pic which centers on a New Yorker who befriends a Puerto Rican girl with attention deficit disorder.
