Some people are born with all the good genes. It's not fair!
The stunning Olivia Munn has proven in the last few years that, besides looking good and knowing a lot about video games, she also has some serious comedic chops.
Her next foray into making us chuckle is a new pregnancy comedy (yes, that's a genre) called "The Babymakers," a team up with comedy troop Broken Lizard ("Super Troopers," "Club Dread").
Munn's no stranger to the comedy world, recently joining "The Daily Show" has a correspondent and co-starring on the short-lived "Perfect Couples" and upcoming Aaron Sorkin HBO dramedy "More As the Story Develops."
Somehow, she's also found time to write the bestselling book "Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek" and land parts in "Iron Man 2," "Date Night" and the Sarah Jessica Parker rom-com "I Don't Know How She Does It."
No surprise if "Olivia Munn" turns out to be eight different robots who eventually take over the world. Remember, we called it.
Now Munn joins the gentlemen behind "Beerfest" and actor Paul Schneider ("Water for Elephants," "Parks and Recreation") as the female lead and wife of Schneider's character, according to Variety. The couple finds themselves unable to conceive a child, forcing Schneider to rob a sperm bank and steal the sample he donated years ago. To make a baby.
The movie will be directed by Broken Lizard regular Jay Chandrasekhar, the man behind many of our favorite "Arrested Development," "Chuck" and "Community" episodes. The rest of the comedy troop is expected to co-star in the film, with Kevin Heffernen playing Schneider's best friend and Chandresekhar himself playing an Estonian thief.
Munn is going to a handful of testosterone to combat in "Babymakers," but as a woman who made a career touting the pleasures of the geek underworld, that shouldn't be a problem. Believe it or not, she stands out quite well in a crowd of shlubby dudes.
The indie comedy is expected to shoot this summer, so look out for "The Babymakers" sometime next year.
