Jon Hamm for Judd Apatow romantic comedy?

Jon Hamm and Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy are reportedly being eyed for a new romantic comedy.

The two could be cast in the comedy project bought by Universal Pictures to be directed by Paul Feig and produced by Judd Apatow, Deadline reports.

Mad Men star Hamm will play opposite McCarthy in the film, which reportedly centres on a man's obsessive love for a woman.
