LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jessica Simpson, who had a role in the summer hit "The Dukes of Hazzard," is in negotiations to star opposite stand-up comedian Dane Cook in "Employee of the Month."
Simpson would play a cashier who makes the employees at a discount superstore go ga-ga. Cook is set as one of the two dorky workers who are vying for her attention by competing for the "Employee of the Month" title.
Gregory Coolidge will direct the Lions Gate comedy from his own script. The studio is eyeing a spring start date.
