Zach Braff To Direct Swingles

Zach Braff To Direct Swingles

What has Braff been doing the last six years? (don’t say Scrubs)

Is he worried about producing a sophomore flop?

It looks like Braff has finally found a new project.

Braff is in talks to rewrite, direct and co-star in the comedy Swingles for Paramount Pictures. The original spec script from Duncan Birmingham has been described as a 21st century When Harry Met Sally. The story follows a man and a woman who find themselves without their respective wingman and wing-woman when their two best friends fall in love. Braff will play a bachelor who teams up with a sharp-tongued woman he can’t stand (played by Cameron Diaz) in order to meet singles. Jeff Roda also did a rewrite.

The project sounds a lot more studio-conventional than Braff’s previous film. The least we can hope for is another kick ass soundtrack.
