Steve Martin is reportedly in talks to co-star in comedy Big Year.

The comedic actor could join Jack Black and Owen Wilson in the Fox project, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is based on the book ‘The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature and Fowl Obsession’ by Mark Obmascik. The plot follows three men involved in a bird-watching competition.

Marley & Me director David Frankel has signed to helm the picture. Ben Stiller is attached to produce.

Shooting is expected to begin in May.
