Spy Comedy 'Susan Cooper' is on its way!

It looks like 2015 will be a very big year for spy movies, as countless titles in the genre were developed and schedules for release next year. We have been seeing reports coming from the direction of The Man From UNCLE, then Mission: Impossible 5, Pierce Brosnan's November Man and Survivor, Mark Millar's The Secret Service, among the others. But, we never knew a comedy merged with the spy category was coming that soon, with 20th Century Fox to distribute it, with a spy girl in the lead.

Last year, we have been reported that a spy comedy film, named Susan Cooper was in development, with filmmaker Paul Feig taking the helm of the project, both writing and directing it. It was said to be parodying the genre started with the Jason Bourne films starring Matt Damon, but nothing further was mentioned of the plot apart from the main protagonist was going to be named 'Susan Cooper', a spy!

From what we see, in the past few days, the production was pushed forward, and we were told it was going to be more like an eighties buddy cop type movie rather than a full-time spy thriller parody, with Melissa McCarthy (sorry to disappoint you with the image above) to be playing the titular character, and more recently, she was joined by Rose Byrne, who played the role of a serious spy in X-Men: First Class (inspired by the Classic James Bond films), Jude Law and more to our surprise... Jason Statham!

And what if Jason Statham was James Bond?

Now, I have no idea how is this going to turn out, but after all, it will definitely be amusing to see an infamous action star like Statham to be appearing in a comedy movie, probably playing another spy alongside Miss Cooper. The film is scheduled for 22nd May 2015, both in the US and UK, with filming to take place in Budapest, Hungary. Statham has always been a busy man and always kept the spotlight focused on him wherever he appeared. For Jude Law? He has experiences with this kind of movies, so the comedy does suit him. And finally for Rose Byrne? Do I really need to talk? Comedy has been coming through her entire career... almost.
