Admission
Producers are out to Paul Rudd to play the male lead in Tina Fey’s new dramatic comedy “Admission” at Focus Features. Rudd is reportedly very interested and has met with the filmmakers, though no formal deal has been struck.
Fey would play an unmarried woman who meets a man she went to school with (Rudd) but never really knew. It turns out he’s been harboring thoughts about her, and possibly a secret as well. [Source: The L.A. Times]
