According to Hollywood Elsewhere, the quartet are attached to the movie, which has yet to be announced by the Oscar-winning writer-director. No story details have yet surfaced.
Both Giamatti and Witherspoon have worked with Payne previously; Giamatti in wine-themed comedy Sideways in 2004 and Witherspoon in Election, which provided her big screen breakthrough.
Payne recently directed the pilot for HBO's comedy Hung, about a well-endowed high school basketball coach (Thomas Jane). He is also serving as an executive producer on the series.
