Rebel Wilson is getting ready to serve as the star of “Double Fault,” a tennis comedy in development at Paramount Players.

Jim and Brian Kehoe, the brothers who wrote the 2019 high school comedy “Blockers,” are in talks to pen the screenplay. The logline is being kept under wraps.

“Double Fault” will be produced by Wilson and Todd Garner (“Senior Year”), with Brad Jenkel (“The Matador”) on board as executive producer.

Wilson recently starred in Netflix’s teen comedy “Senior Year,” in which she played a 37-year-old who wakes up from a coma and returns to high school to get her diploma.

In Variety’s review of “Senior Year,” Dennis Harvey praised Wilson as “a naturally gifted comedian” who pulls together the movie “through sheer force of personality and riffing performance chops.”

Prior to “Senior Year,” Wilson hadn’t starred in a movie since 2019’s “Isn’t It Romantic,” a romantic comedy that parodies stereotypical Hollywood meet-cutes.

Haley's eyes, on the other hand, refused to grow up.

You know that feeling you get when you realize your younger sibling is a human being and might, potentially, be a sexually active adult? Well Mpca is betting that’s just what audience members the world over will want to experience when Haley Joel Osment starts acting like a weirdly grown man in Sex Ed.

News of the film, which will undoubtedly spawn hundreds of sexualized “I see dead people” jokes, came from The Hollywood Reporter. The flick will follow Osment as “a college graduate who dreams of teaching high school Algebra but due to budget restraints, ends up teaching sexual education, despite being a virgin. He discovers an unlikely mentor in a blues bar, a ruthless enemy in the local PTA, and a gorgeous Polish girl for whom English is a distant second language.” Brad Jenkel and Brad Krevoy...

The story follows a college graduate who dreams of teaching high school Algebra. Due to budget cuts though, he ends up teaching sexual education - a bit of a problem as he's still a virgin.

He soon befriends a mentor in a blues bar, a ruthless enemy in the local PTA, and a gorgeous Polish love interest. Billy Kennedy penned the script while commercials director Isaac Feder will helm.

Brad Jenkel, Brad Krevoy, Seth Grossman and Adam Goldworm will produce.

Haley Joel Osment, formerly the little kid from "The Sixth Sense", makes a return to the big screen as he grabs the lead role in the upcoming comedy "Sex Ed". The script is written by Billy Kennedy and will be directed by Isaac Feder, marking this basically as his feature film debut.   "Sex Ed" centers on a college graduate who dreams of teaching high school Algebra but due to budget restraints, ends up teaching sexual education, despite being a virgin. He discovers an unlikely mentor in a blues bar, a ruthless enemy in the local PTA, and a gorgeous Polish girl for whom English is a distant second language. Well, I wonder how this story is going to turn out, since it's so ridiculously formulaic in the possibly stupid comedy sense.   Seth Grossman is producing along with Adam Goldworm of Apeture Entertainment and Brad Krevoy and Brad Jenkel under Mpca.
