Julie Bowen Will Be Melissa McCarthy’s Enemy In Life of the Party

While her on-screen hubby, Ty Burrell, has made a few movies since the start of Modern Family, Julie Bowen has mainly stuck to the TV show. However, now she’s lined up a juicy role opposite Melissa McCarthy in Life Of The Party, according to Variety.

Not too much is known about the plot, but Bowen will apparently be the main enemy of McCarthy’s characters. Maya Rudolph, Gillian Jacobs, Debby Ryan, and Animal Kingdom’s Molly Gordon also star.

Bowen is slotting the movie in between seasons of Modern Family, with production having started last week in Atlanta. As well as starring in the film, McCarthy also co-wrote the script alongside her husband, Ben Falcone, who also directs. It’s due out May 2017.
