We finally have some further details regarding the Untitled Peter Farrelly/Charles Wessler Project, courtesy of The Independent. The segment starring Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman is called The Catch.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet star in a segment called The Catch in a multi-sketch film shot by Peter Farrelly (of the Farrelly brothers) and several other directors. Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are other actors working on this project.

The other directors in this film include actors Elizabeth Banks and Griffin Dunne, Brett Ratner (New York, je t’aime, X-Men: The Last Stand), and Charles Wessler (Dumb and Dumber and the upcoming Three Stooges).

This collaborative idea from Farrelly and Wessler strings together a series of stories with a unifying theme, similar to films in the 1970s such as Kentucky Fried Movie. The two worked on There’s Something about Mary. Based on the success of ensemble films like Valentine’s Day, a star-studded film with a modest budget could well work again.
