1. Poehler is Tina Fey’s ‘Baby Mama’

    SlashFilm has the first image available for the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reunion vehicle, Baby Mama, due out from Universal in the Spring. In what seems like not much of a stretch from her 30 Rock persona, Fey plays Kate, a 37 year-old single executive who’s looking to have her first child. After learning that she’s unable to have one naturally, she pegs lower-class South Philly girl Angie (Poehler) as her surrogate. Baby comedy turns buddy comedy when Angie loses her place and Kate finds her at her doorstep.

    Seems promising (if not predictable) enough, though potential would be higher with the former SNL writer pals as scribes, which they were not. Forecast is for broad comedy as screenplay and (first-time) direction is by Michael McCullers, who penned two Austin Powers sequels, as well as Undercover Brother. Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, and Sigourney Weaver also star. Release is scheduled for April 18th, 2008.
