It’s getting to the point now where the producers of Hugh Laurie’s medical drama House will have to dress up a cardboard cut out of Olivia Wilde to stand in for her, since she’s just scored another film job, this time on Ryan Reynolds/Jason Bateman body-switch comedy The Change-Up.
Okay, so chances are she might not be in every scene and she could squeeze filming time into any hiatus/days off from the series, but she’s already taken some time off to shoot Cowboys & Aliens and will have promotional work coming up for both the comedy Butter and a little Disney art house film called Tron Legacy.
Still, it sounds like she’s found the right role in the comedy, since she’s playing the sexy law firm co-worker who inspires Bateman’s settled married man to experience life in the shape of his slacker, serial-dating mate (Reynolds).
With a script from** The Hangover**’s Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, **The Change-Up **will have Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin calling the shots from next month. Maybe Reynolds and Wilde can compare notes on who has the busier schedule…
