Pine-ing For Reese

Chris Pine and Seth Rogen may play one of the two male leads in the comedy "This Means War" says The Wrap.

The story follows two life-long friends who fall for the same woman (Reese Witherspoon) who has moved into their spare room. They end up fighting for her affections, a fight which literally demolishes much of New York City along the way.

Rumored to include Robert Downey Jr. and Matt Damon at one point, Rogen and Pine are apparently the only ones in competition for the role of Fdr, one of the two friends. The other friend role was offered to James Franco who passed on the job.

Bradley Cooper was attached but dropped out of the project. As a result, Rogen could segue into the role Franco left so both he and Pine could potentially star.

Timothy Dowling ("Role Models," "Midnight Run 2) is currently re-writing the script.

McG is calling action on the film which is to begin filming in July.
