Melissa McCarthy really broke out with Bridesmaids, but she’s had to take her time capitalising on that due to the fact she has to spend a lot of her year making the sitcom Mike & Molly. Even so she’s added three new films to her slate, according to THR (which could suggests she’s hoping to leave Mike & Molly behind).
Two of the movie are set up at Universal while the third are set up over at Fox. The first has no title yet, but is based on a character McCarthy created called Michelle Darnell. She’ll also co-write the script with her hubby Ben Falcone and fellow Groundlings comedy group member Steve Mallory.
She’s also planning the family film Cousin Irv From Mars, adapted from an upcoming children’s book by New Yorker cartoonist and former Seinfeld writer Bruce Eric Kaplan. It’s about a boy and his cousin, who is from outer space. Kaplan will write the screenplay while McCarthy will star.
The final film is Just Do It, based on Douglas Brown’s Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!). It could certainly make for a saucy film as the book is a memoir following a couple that attempted to rekindle their marriage with a 101 day sexual marathon. McCarthy and Falcone are both set to work on the script, with McCarthy once more planning to star.
That’ll certainly keep her busy, especially as she’s also got the likes of Identity Thief and The Heat to promote in the next few months, with her comedy Tammy also due to shoot this year.

The millisecond it was revealed that Disney had bought Lucasfilm, the rumour mill went into overdrive, and as a result it’s been a good idea to treat any info that hasn’t come from official sources with a healthy dose of scepticism.

JJ Abrams seems to want to get into the Guinness Book Of Records for being the busiest man on the planet, as he’s busy finishing Star Trek Into Darkness, has signed on to make Star Wars: Episode VII, as well as developing a seemingly endless slate of movies through his Bad Robot Production Company.
Jennifer Aniston, Mark Duplass and Ben Kingsley certainly make an interesting cast for a comedy. 
While Godzilla has been in the works for a couple of years, it feels as if everything’s been put into a bit of a last minute rush, with Frank Darabont still rewriting the script and only one star attached at the moment – Aaron Johnson – even though production is supposed to start in Canada in March.
