Nia Long, Bobby Cannavale, and Miranda Hart Join Melissa McCarthy in 'Spy'

Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy have found nothing but success each time they've worked together, with Bridesmaids and The Heat boosting both of their careers in a major way. And so they're hoping to find that same level of success, and perhaps build a new franchise, with the espionage comedy, Spy, which was known as Susan Cooper until recently. With Jude Law, Rose Byrne, and Jason Statham already aboard, three new additions have joined the cast.

Nia Long and Bobby Cannavale are in talks to join the James Bond-esque film, with British comedienne Miranda Hart also signing on. Cannavale will play an Italian playboy and one of the film's villains, while Long is a higher-up at the CIA.  Law is set to play a suave super spy and lover to McCarthy's character. When he dies, she leaves the analyst desk and goes into the field to find the killer. Statham will go against the grain as a clumsy and over-confident agent.

Feig wrote the script and will direct Spy for release Memorial Day 2015. [Deadline/THR]

Tyler Perry has often depicted the struggles of being a solo parent in his films, and now he's about to take on the issue again in The Single Mom's Club. Starring Nia Long, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Amy Smart, Zulay Henao, and Cocoa Brown, the story centers on five struggling single mothers brought together after an incident at their kids' school. Realizing they have more in common than expected, they form a support group and inspire one another to throw themselves at guys again make the most out of life.

Terry Crews and Eddie Cibrian co-star as the "guy candy", and Perry still hasn't taken out that awkward scene of him mackin' on Long.  Tyler Perry's The Single Mom's Club opens on March 14th.

Trailer for Tyler Perry's 'The Single Moms Club' Starring Nia Long and Terry Crews

In a few days Tyler Perry will take a dump all over the holidays with A Madea Christmas, the commercials for which should be enough to keep you away from mall Santas for an eternity. It'll probably reel in some hefty coin, though, and will keep him making other, supposedly more serious movies like The Single Moms Club, which asks him to stop dressing like a woman and start hanging out with them.

The first trailer for the film has been released, and the greatest takeaway from it is the great cast Perry has put together. Starring Nia Long, Wendi McLendon-Covey, the vastly under-utilized Amy Smart, Terry Crews, Eddie Cibrian, and Perry himself (not so great), the film centers on a group of single moms brought together by an incident at their children's school. They form a sort of support group for single parents but it looks like all they really do is try to hook one another up with dates, because apparently that's all single women have to worry about it. Where can they find a man?

So harmless this probably won't be, especially if there's more than one scene of Perry trying to flirt with Nia Long. Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club opens March 14th 2014.
