Evan Peters and Ryan Murphy have been working together for years on various TV projects. None of them reached the heights in viewership like their most recent— “Dahmer.” Now, it looks like the duo aren’t going to wait a long time before collaborating one more time, with the upcoming new series “The Beauty.”

Good romantic comedies have been a rare beast as of late. Lazy scripts, lackluster directing, and leads with no chemistry have plagued the genre in the last few years. Thankfully, every once in a while, a gem emerges. In this case, it’s writer-director Aline Brosh McKenna’s directorial debut “Your Place Or Mine” starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher that has come to resuscitate the rom-com.

Some might know him as the Fire Guy or just Ryan Howard. However, B.J. Novak is much more than just one of the stars of “The Office.” And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, Novak stops by to talk about his new dark comedy, “Vengeance,” which marks his feature directorial debut.

“Vengeance,” tells the story of a writer slash podcaster from New York City who, through some weird mixup, finds himself at a funeral in rural Texas where he hopes to develop a premise for his next big podcast.

B.J. Novak’s feature directorial debut, “Vengeance,” does not begin like you would expect B.J. Novak’s feature directorial debut to begin. It’s an image out of a horror movie, a dying figure in a dark and empty oil field, holding up a cell phone, desperately trying to get a signal. For a moment, it looks like producer Jason Blum got Novak to pull a Jordan Peele, jettisoning his comic comfort zone and heading into genre territory.

We had a quick chance to sit down with the great Mr. Kline last week and the effusive, captivating raconteur went off about a multitude of subjects, including Ivan Reitman’s upcoming Untitled comedy (formerly known as “Friends With Benefits”) starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher as two non-committal daters who try and keep their relationship purely physical, but it’s not long until they both want something more.

Who was anyone kidding? This allegedly summer weekend looked no different than your average March free-for-all. A three-week old kiddie picture vs. a second-tier Judd Apatow offering, an Ashton Kutcher Lionsgate movie, a fifth-rate talking animal picture and a culty horror curiosity. Forecasting any of these movies doing $20 million+ was being, hmm, adventurous, though you couldn’t blame prognosticators, who assumed that the hot weather and lack of school should equal arbitrary big numbers for someone.

To be directed by Will Gluck, the film follows a headhunter (Timberlake) who recruits an editor (Kunis) to run a men’s magazine, with the two eventually agreeing to sleep together with no strings attached. Of course, things get complicated when the guy falls for the girl, who’s dating someone else.

The cast is kind of excellent, but here’s why we’re afraid: Ivan Reitman is directing and he hasn’t made a romantic comedy, let alone a good movie in about twenty years (his last good film is 1990s “Kindergarten Cop”; why the geeks are so keen on him directing “Ghostbusters III” is a mystery).

The script was bought by Paramount in the summer of 2009 and now evidently has a new title and cast associated with it.

In a Vulture article about the woes of “Ghostbusters III,” which we just wrote about here, the writer says the film has now softened its title to “Friends With Benefits” and has Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher involved as the “guy and girl [friends who] struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more,” or, as the original logline read “an inverse ‘When Harry Met Sally’.”

However, as just mentioned, the project was greenlit with Ivan Reitman set to direct, presumably creating a conflict with the upcoming “Ghostbusters III.”

“Ghostbusters” is presumably his priority (unless he does drop out of the drama currently brewing with the project), so, Portman, Kutcher and a fuck-buddy comedy about friends who develop romantic feelings for one another eventually, in 2011?

Pajiba, second only to Nikki Finke at scoop-breaking at the moment (and much, much better human beings…) are reporting that Ashton Kutcher and Jamie Foxx, who can both be currently be seen on screens in “Valentine’s Day,” are teaming up for the action-comedy “Streets on Fire.” The script, by journalist Justin Britt-Gibson, made last year’s Black List, and follows two rookie Chicago cops, one hot-headed and black, the other white and lazy, a former quarterback whose attempt to turn pro was stopped by a sex scandal.
