Ashley Judd is in talks to join Dwayne Johnson in the cast of upcoming comedy Tooth Fairy.

Judd will play Johnson's love interest, a single mum with two children, in the 20th Century Fox production.

Michael Lembeck (The Santa Clause 2) will helm the movie, in which the wrestler-turned-actor stars as a minor league hockey player nicknamed the Tooth Fairy.

Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Parenthood, City Slickers) penned the script with Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia.

Filming begins in Vancouver next month.
