Anna Faris Comedy What’s Your Number? May Land Andy Samberg And Zachary Quinto
We’ve talked aboutWhat’s Your Number?a couple of times before, for a few reasons. There’s the script, which hit the2008 Black Listwhen it was calledTwenty Times a Lady.There’s the director,Mark Mylod, who is returning to features after working onEntourageandThe United States of Tara. (He made the Ali G movie, once upon a time.) And there’s the cast, which now could includeAndy SambergandZachary Quintoalongside lead actressAnna Faris.
Last time I talked about the movie,Matt BomerandAri Graynorwere joining, but Samberg and Quinto are probably going to count as more notable to many. Samberg has had parts in films before, but is most known for his work onSaturday Night Liveand the spin-off band Lonely Island. Quinto, meanwhile, will be taking one of his first feature roles sinceStar Trek. (He’s stayed busy onHeroesin the meantime, obviously.)
Chris Evanswas one of the first actors cast, and remains so, saysEW, which also reports that Samberg is attached and an offer has been made to Quinto. That’s a good lineup, all told. So what’s the story?Karyn Bosnakoriginally adapted her own novel,Twenty Times a Lady, for the screen, andthat script was rewrittenbyJennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan. That’s the version that ended up on the Black List, with this logline: “After realizing that she has had twice as many sexual partners as the national average, Deliliah swears off new guys and decides to back and visit the previous twenty guys and find out if she overlooked anyone.”
Faris is Delilah, and Ari Graynor would be her sister, and the girl whose marriage sets a backdrop for the R-rated comedy. Matt Bomer is the dream guy, Samberg and Quinto are likely to be among the twenty previous partners (among whom are “an inmate, a rehab patient, a dog-obsessed Amway salesman and a Muppeteer”) and Chris Evans is her womanizing next-door neighbor.
