Variety is reporting that Allan Loeb will write an untitled comedy for Working Title as a star vehicle for Ryan Reynolds (Wolverine, upcoming Green Lantern).

The trade describes the film as a "dude-in-drag romantic comedy, with Reynolds playing a jilted lover who must disguise himself as a woman and befriend his ex in order to win her back."

Working Title partners Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan will produce along with Jonathon Komack Martin (Reynolds' partner in Dark Trick Films) and Steven Pearl (Loeb's partner in Scarlett Fire). Working Title has a first look deal with Universal.

Liza Chasin will be executive producer along with Reynolds and Loeb.

Brilliant! Maybe he can have a kooky name like: "Footsie" or... I know... TOOTSIE.

Screw Reynolds, Sean William Scott should be Deadpool!

Reynolds humour is way too sophisticated for deadpool!

Ryan has done comedies before. What the hell is the problem? He should do it.

Mrs. Doubtfire 2? I guess we'll just have to see. I like Reynolds in most everything I see him in.

Damn. Sean W. Scott would be good for Deadpool. I could see it. But Reynolds is cool too.

Happy Birthday to the ground!

This is definitely not the approach I was expecting for the Deadpool movie.
