John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei Team Up

John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, and Jonah Hill will star in a currently untitled comedy for Fox Searchlight. The comedy was originally dubbed Safety Man, but that title has since been scrapped and a new one has not been decided upon. Directors Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass will direct the movie, based on a script which they wrote themselves.

The story features a divorcee, played by Reilly, who stumbles upon the woman of his dreams, played by Tomei. Hill will star as Tomei's teenaged son, who causes trouble for his mother since he doesn't want to share her affection with a new man. Shooting is scheduled to begin in January.
