Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman are set to star together in the fertility-themed comedy The Baster.
According to Variety, Will Speck and Josh Gordon, who previously teamed for the comedy Blades of Glory, will helm The Baster from a screenplay by Allan Loeb who wrote 21. The film is based on Jeffrey Eugenides’ short story “Baster,” which was first published in The New Yorker.
The Baster focuses on a neurotic and insecure man (Bateman) who discovers his best friend (A
niston) wants to have a child through artificial insemination. He cleverly replaces her donor’s semen with his own and is then forced to live with the secret that he is the child’s real father.
The film will start shooting in the spring.
