First Footage from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Comedy 'Sisters'

Last night Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the Golden Globes for the third and likely final time (they did host, right? I barely saw them.), and Universal saw it as the perfect time to unveil footage of their new comedy, Sisters. Pretty slick move as it gives the film, which doesn't open for another eleven months, a chance to get seen in front of millions who probably love the duo already.

Written by SNL and 30 Rock vet Paula Pell with Pitch Perfect's Jason Moore directing, the film follows two sisters who are summoned back to their childhood home to clean up before the family house is sold. Instead the ladies decide to throw one final high school-style bash with all of their former classmates. We've seen stories like this before but with Fey and Poehler on board this could be a cut above, and it helps that this teaser is actually pretty funny.

Ya'll ready for this jelly? Sisters hits theaters on December 18th.

Tina Fey lines up 'The Nest' with 'Pitch Perfect' director Jason Moore

She's already dominated the Golden Globes and wrapped up seven seasons of 30 Rock, so what's next in store for Tina Fey? Along with Admission, the upcoming comedy she has with Paul Rudd, she's currently filming The Muppets...Again, and is busy lining up her future projects. The latest mark on her busy calendar is The Nest, which may have a hot young director coming aboard.

Jason Moore, who scored one of last year's great underdog victories with the a capella hit Pitch Perfect, is in talks to direct Fey in the sibling comedy. Paula Pell's original script follows "two thirtysomething sisters come home to find their parents’ house has been put up for sale. They spend a last wild weekend together, bonding and feuding and finally growing up." Maybe I'm getting a Your Sister's Sister vibe from this, but I can totally see Rosemarie DeWitt in the other lead role.

Fey had been recently quoted as saying she hoped to hook back up with Steve Carell this summer for Mail Order, and that may still be true. There's no word on when The Nest would shoot, but the combination of Fey and Moore is definitely one worth keeping an eye on.
