Anna Faris and Chris Evans: perfect comedy team? Whether you think that could be true, we’ll find out soon enough as the pair has signed on to New Regency’s rom-com What’s Your Number?
It’ll be an R-Rated story of a young woman who, in partnership with her womanising next door neighbour (we guess Evans), decides to pay a call on all of her ex-boyfriends to see if she missed out on landing her perfect man.
It’s all based on Karyn Bosnak’s book 20 Times A Lady, which she’s adapted – though her script has since been re-written by Gabrielle Allan and Jennifer Crittenden.
**Ali G Indahouse **director Mark Mylod will be the man who brings it to the screen, and Faris will no doubt be hoping to repeat the box office heights she scaled with The House Bunny. But seriously folks, this could work: this pair both have serious comedy chops and bags of charm. If the script is actually, y'know, clever, we could be on to something.
And look! We wrote a whole news story about Chris Evans without making a Radio 2 joke!
