Variety reports that Kevin Kline, Paul Dano, Katie Holmes and John C. Reilly are set to star in The Extra Man, a comedy that will begin filming in New York in February.
Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini of American Splendor will direct.
The Extra Man comes from a novel by Jonathan Ames, which Pulcini and Springer Berman wrote the script with the author. The last project the two directors co-directed was The Nanny Diaries.
Kline plays a failed playwright who works as an escort for rich widows on the Upper East Side. He develops a mentor-student relationship with a troubled aspiring playwright (Dano).

Let’s bring back cocky fighter-pilot trainee Maverick. It’s been 22 years after the first film, bring it on.
A script outline has been written, but the sequel depends on Cruise, 46, saying yes.
Say “yes” Tom!
Rumor has it that Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor – and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.
Who would be the female pilot? Katie Holmes?

The movie business is a little quiet these months but cable television is hot, hot, hot news. EW sent me a piece on Katie Holmes working with her buddy from Dawson Creek days, Greg Berlanti whose bringing Holmes on the critically acclaimed Eli Stone for one episode this fall. Awesome, Holmes is going back to television for a tad.
Berlanti executive produces Eli Stone and was the executive producer for Dawson Creek.
You can also find her on Broadway doing a stint with the revival of Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons, which is one of my favorite Miller plays. All I can say is — Go girl!
