Matthew Broderick has reportedly signed up to star in a new NBC comedy pilot.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 47-year-old actor is attached to Beach Lane, which was given the green light yesterday.

The project revolves around a celebrity author (Broderick) hired by a millionaire heir to run his struggling newspaper based in the Hamptons.

Broderick, who is married to Sarah Jessica Parker, recently revealed that he turned down repeat offers to star in Sex And The City.

In other pilot news, CBS has greenlit a medical drama project from ER chief John Wells and an NYC cop-based drama called Reagan's Law.
