Jason Bateman made his directorial debut this year with the dark comedy "Bad Words," and since then Jason Bateman has been lining up his future directorial projects.

Next month he will begin shooting "The Family Fang" in New York. "The Family Fang" is a drama in which Jason Bateman co-stars alongside Nicole Kidman and Christopher Walken. Bateman has already been announced for his movie after that, another comedy for Universal, some kind of "untitled FBI wedding comedy."

With early drafts of the screenplay by David Flebotte and Phil Alden Robinson already finished, David Bar Katz has been signed on to do the rewrites.  Besides starring and directing the movie, Bateman will also produce with James Garavente for Aggregate Films, along with Bob Cooper from Landscape Entertainment. The project will be overseen by Universal senior VP of production Kristin Lowe and director of development Sara Scott.

The A.V club reports, "We don't know very much about Untitled FBI Wedding Comedy yet, but it's a safe bet that it will stick pretty close to all of its genre's conventions. The poster will have a woman in a wedding dress standing next to a guy in one of those blue FBI windbreakers, everyone will arrive at the wedding in blacked-out SUVs, one character will say his sister Samantha was abducted by aliens and another will be trying to catch Hannibal Lecter, there will be a wacky shootout with terrorists on the dance floor, and the groom will say "You're my FBI's Most Wanted" during a sappy speech to the bride. Everyone's familiar with those FBI wedding comedy clichés, though. We don't even need to bring them up."

Bateman can be seen next in Warner Bros' "This is Where I Leave You," which will be released September 19, and "Horrible Bosses 2" a few months later.

A long-time John Leguizamo collaborator, Katz, who is doing the rewrites for this untitled "FBI wedding comedy" is writing a number of other projects including "The Man in the Rockefeller Sui"t for director Walter Salles, which will be released by Fox Searchlight, and the TV pilot "Sobering" for Showtime. He also wrote a play called "Philip Roth in Khartoum" that's currently in development.
