Braff Joins Cameron Diaz Comedy, Will Smith Update
Upfront week might bring television news to the forefront, but it does not cause film studios to delay making casting decisions.
Variety reports that “Scrubs” star Zach Braff is nearing a deal to effectively take over upcoming comedy “Swingles.”
Braff is negotiating to direct, rewrite and star in the film, which follows a man who, after being dropped by his standard wingman, utilizes the help of a sharp-tongued woman to meet single women. Cameron Diaz had already signed onto star in the role opposite Braff.

John Lee Hancock will write and direct.
