Annie Mumolo, who co-wrote the Judd Apatow-produced “Bridesmaids” with Kristen Wiig, will be given an acting role in Judd Apatow’s next feature film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Mumolo will be acting alongside Melissa McCarthy, who is the breakout star from “Bridesmaids.” Other actors making up the cast thus far include “Super 8″‘s Ryan Lee, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann (reprising their married couple roles from “Knocked Up”), Megan Fox and Albert Brooks.
Robert Smigel has also been given an acting role in this untitled comedy. Smigel is a former “Saturday Night Live” writer and creator of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and “Saturday Night Live”‘s “TV Funhouse” cartoons, the most famous one being “The Ambiguously Gay Duo.” He also co-wrote “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” along with Adam Sandler, who also starred in the film.
This is not Mumolo’s first Apatow movie acting credit–she did have a small role in “Bridesmaids.” Other projects Mumolo is involved in include a blind script deal with ABC Studios and, with McCarthy, sold a comedy feature film pitch to Paramount Studios with John Goldwyn and Lorne Michaels to produce.
“Bridesmaids” has been rated as the highest-grossing R-rated all-female comedy ever, kicking out “Sex in the City.”
