Reese Witherspoon is a PHARM GIRL

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Reese Witherspoon is going to star in an upcoming Universal movie currently titled PHARM GIRL. The story goes something like this:

a woman (Witherspoon) who gets a job at a pharma powerhouse but begins to see the underbelly of the industry as she rises through the company's ranks

One cannot help but notice the coincidental nature of the fact that this movie coincides to the very period where health care reform is going to be a hot button topic this coming year. I expect that this movie will get done pretty quickly hopefully to coincide with the peak of the debate.

Paul Giamatti, Sacha Baron Cohen & Reese Witherspoon in DOWNSIZING Movie?

Paul Giamatti, Sacha Baron Cohen and Reese Witherspoon have committed to star in Alexander Payne's (Sideways) new movie, DOWNSIZING.

Paul Giamatti would star as a man who realizes he could have a better life if he shrinked himself. (Not sure how that's going to work.) And Reese Whitherspoon would star as a woman Giamatti's character meets along the way.

However since Alexander Payne is still working on the screenplay, so far there are no official deals.
