Witherspoon is a 'Pharm Girl' (THR)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Reese Witherspoon has become attached to "Pharm Girl," an aspirational comedy being developed at Universal. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film centers on one woman's odyssey through the drug industry. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are writing the screenplay and are in talks to direct.
THR says the project looks at a woman who gets a job at a pharmaceutical powerhouse, but begins to see the underbelly of the industry as she rises through the company's ranks.
Witherspoon will produce via her Type A banner.
The actress recently signed onto a new comedy from James Brooks at Columbia and is considering starring in Fox's sci-fi comedy "Used Guys." She and Type A are attached to produce thriller "Bell Witch" and romantic comedy "Around the World in 80 Dates," both at Universal.
