Emma Stone spoke to Movieline about the Untitled Peter Farrelly/Charles Wessler Project. and revealed some details about the Kate Winslet/Hugh Jackman short, titled The Catch.

“That one is so much fun,” said Stone, who had sat down to talk more generally about her upcoming indie Paper Man, which opens April 23. “It’s a series of 17 short films — kind of like Kentucky Fried Movie. It that vein. It’s just really, really funny. Kieran Culkin and I did our short together a couple of weeks ago, directed by Griffin Dunne. But wait until you see the Kate Winslet/Hugh Jackman one. That’s the only other one I’ve seen. The humor is so raunchy.”

Wait, huh? Winslet and Jackman? “Raunchy?” We all know Winslet will do just about anything on camera, but Jackman? What?

“Well. all of the stories are completely different,” Stone continued. “I think they’re going to tie them together; I don’t know how. I can’t give it away, but theirs is called The Catch. He’s a bachelor… but there’s a catch. She’s going on a date with this bachelor, and you will not believe what you see when you see it. It’s so f*cking funny. It’s so funny. And then Kieran and I are exes, and I’ve come to return his… toys. He’s working at a grocery store — on the night shift — and we have this very intense exchange. They’re all these five-minute shorts. You’ll really like it.”

Additionally, The Daily Telegraph has revealed that Hugh will play a man whose testicles are located under his chin while Kate plays a woman who goes out on a date with his character. That sure sounds… Interesting, to say the least!

Be sure to check out this press release for detailed information regarding the Untitled Peter Farrelly/Charles Wessler Project. What most excites me about it is the chance to see Kate Winslet and Naomi Watts in the same film – a comedy, of all!

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.

It seems that Kate Winslet’s next project is a comedy. There has been reports of her filming scenes in New York together with Flushed Away co-star Hugh Jackman. It will be a Farrelly brothers directed short, part of a movie consisting of a series of short films. Details are still scarce but we’ll keep you updated when anything new comes up!

The following report dates back to October 2009:

The Farrelly brothers are at it again.

The producing duo, best known for gigglefests like There’s Something About Mary, shot scenes with Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet this week at the Thompson Gild Hall hotel in the Financial District. An industry source confirms that the work will be a part of a series of shorts.

According to an onlooker, Jackman and Winslet broke for lunch at the Libertine after wrapping up work on the light-hearted set. “It’s certainly a comedy,” the source says. “They were laughing the whole time.”
