Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd are in talks to star in James L. Brooks's new comedy with Reese Witherspoon, says Variety.

Tentatively titled How Do You Know?, the project revolves around a love triangle between a company executive (Rudd) and a pro baseball pitcher (Wilson) who fight for Witherspoon's attention.

Scheduling may prove a stumbling block for Rudd, as he is already in discussions with DreamWorks for Jay Roach's Dinner With Schmucks, which begins shooting shortly after How Do You Know?.

Brooks will write, direct and produce the movie, his first since 2004's Spanglish. He previously helmed the Oscar-winning Terms Of Endearment, As Good As It Gets and is a producer on The Simpsons.
