The New York Times reports the Untitled James L. Brooks Comedy is now officially called How Do You Know. (No question mark.) The Times notes:
To date Mr. Brooks has directed just five films, beginning with “Terms of Endearment” in 1983. That one and two others, “Broadcast News,” a triangle set in the news business, and “As Good as It Gets,” in which Jack Nicholson played the crustiest of curmudgeons, were best picture nominees. “Terms of Endearment” was not only a winner, but also gave Mr. Brooks the rare distinction of picking up separate Oscars as the writer, director and producer of the same film.
Twice Mr. Brooks has missed. [I’ll do Anything & Spanglish]
Reese Witherspoon stars as an Olympic softball player torn between a professional baseball pitcher (Owen Wilson) and a business executive (Paul Rudd). Jack Nicholson appears as the father of Paul Rudd’s character (and as the guy who wins an Oscar every time he’s in a James L. Brooks film.)
