7. Miramax and Screen Gems are collaborating on a currently untitled comedy that will star Kevin Hart (”Think Like a Man”) and Josh Gad (”Love & Other Drugs”). Jeremy Garelick will direct the film, which was also written by Garelick. In the film, Jimmy (Hart) provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who – for whatever reason – have no one close enough to agree to stand by them on the day of their wedding. Doug (Gad) a groom-to-be, has found himself in just such a situation, but, to make matters worse, he fabricates the names of not only a best man but nine groomsmen as well. When all else fails, Doug seeks out Jimmy’s services to carry out a charade designed to make Doug look his best, but threatens to destroy everything if it fails.
