Jessica Biel getting "Engaged"

By Jay A. Fernandez

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jessica Biel is attached to star in and produce rookie screenwriter Julia Brownell's "F***ing Engaged," a raunchy comedy about a couple who make a pact to have sex every day leading to their wedding so they don't turn into their crusty old parents.

It's the first script sale for Brownell. A playwright from the MFA theater program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, she has written "Smart Cookie" and "Fantasy Baseball" for the stage and made the short films "Pizza Boy" and "The Assistant." She also has performed in improv and sketch-comedy groups.

Biel most recently starred in "Powder Blue," "Easy Virtue" and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry." She next appears in David O. Russell's romantic comedy "Nailed" and "Valentine's Day," which hits theaters in February.
