According to The Hollywood Reporter, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee has signed on for her first studio film gig, an untitled Anna Faris project for Columbia Pictures, penned by Legally Blonde scribes Karen
McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and directed by Fred Wolf.
The script centers on a Playboy bunny (Faris) who
gets kicked out of the Playboy Mansion and becomes the house mother to
the lamest sorority on a nearby college campus. McPhee will play a pregnant hippie, and rounding out the major roles of
the sorority sisters will be Emma Stone, Rumer Willis, Kat Dennings and comedian
Dana Goodman. The film is perhaps most notable, however, as the first
female-driven comedy to come out of Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison production company. Production is set to commence the last week of July in Los Angeles so, somewhere, Rob Schneider is slipping into a micro-skirt and high heels right now…
