Kristen Bell is in negotiations to join Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski (“The Office”) in the Ken Kwapis-directed “Whales”.

According to THR, “Whales” tells the true story of a small-town news reporter (Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Barrymore) who enlist the help of rival superpowers to save three majestic gray whales trapped under the ice of the Arctic Circle.
