The casting of Megan Fox In Friends With Kids was announced today. The former Transformers actress has reportedly signed on to star in a supporting role in the comedy film being directed by first time helmer Jennifer Westfeldt. Yes, just a supporting role! Some are saying after the sad turnout of both Jonah Hex and Jennifer’s Body, the newly married starlet isn’t exactly taking the movie world by storm!
Aside from Megan Fox in Friends With Kids, the cast line also brags the famous and talented Mad Men actor Jon Hamm (who is also the boyfriend of director Jennifer Westfeldt), actress Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott and Westfeldt, will will also appear in the comedy. Fox is set to play a love interest of Scott’s in a story that follows the strange decision of one couple who decide to start a family, but still date other people after seeing their married friends constantly duke it out.
“It’s a very literate script and when Jen met with her, she thought Megan was spot on. When (Fox) picks the right part, she has tremendous value,” said Cinetic Media’s John Sloss.
It should be interesting to see how Scott and Fox’s on screen chemistry works. Filming is said to kick off next month with a release date of sometime next April.
“Jen wrote one of the funniest and most original scripts I’ve read in a long time, the rare great generational character comedy,” Kasdan said.
