Currently working under the title, Bachelorette, THR reports the plot as being about "three best friends (two of whom would be played by Caplan and Dunst) who are invited to act as bridesmaids at the wedding of a girl they called “Pigface” in high school." Casey Wilson, currently a regular on the ABC sitcom, Happy Endings, is playing the blushing bride, who apparently has some plans in store for her former tormentors.
Caplan, who is so good at rough deadpan humor, will play a girl with a Playboy bunny bod and a brain like Larry David. Yikes. Dunst's character is described as being "crisp and severe", your best friend and worst enemy. Scott will play the high school crush of Caplan's character, who shows up to the wedding with a much hotter woman on his arm. For Caplan and Scott this will be a reunion as the two starred together on the beloved but little seen Starz Network comedy, Party Down. >sniff< I still miss that show. Henry and Casey 4ever!!!
This will mark the directorial debut of Leslye Headland, who also wrote the script. Headland was a writer on the short-lived FX series, Terriers
. She's been given a teeny tiny $3M budget for this one, with plans for production to begin this summer in New York.
