How to Lose a Best Man in Ten Days

Kate Hudson has signed to star opposite Owen Wilson in Universal Pictures’ "You, Me and Dupree", says The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie will mark the debut of outgoing Universal heads of production Scott Stuber and Mary Parent in their studio-based production deal.

The comedy by Mike LeSieur, which was picked up by the studio in a hotly contested bidding war, revolves around a newlywed couple whose relationship issues boil over when the groom’s unemployed best man moves in for a brief period and seems to have no intention of leaving.

Joe and Anthony Russo will direct "Dupree," which will go into production this year.
