Leslie Mann to Star in ‘Business Trip’ for Producer Apatow

Leslie Mann

Deadline is reporting that Judd Apatow will produce Business Trip as a star vehicle for his wife, Leslie Mann. The comedy centers on three women who go on a corporate trip but wind up doing anything but business while on company time.

Universal bought the pitch from freshman screenwriter Stacey B. Harman. There’s no word on who will direct, but word is that the studio is eyeing this for a January 2011 release, which obviously means this film must be fast-tracked soon. With Apatow regulars Kristen Wiig and Elizabeth Banks locked up on other projects, it’ll be interesting to see who will be cast in the two other starring roles.

This is yet another project for the suddently busy Apatow. We told you about Bridesmaids earlier today, and Apatow is set to produce Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston in Wanderlust in September.
