McG goes to War!

No not with WB over not letting Terminator Salvation have an R rating, according to The Hollywood Reporter he's going to war in more of a comedic sense, check the blurb out below.

McG, heading into action-comedy territory, is in negotiations to direct "This Means War" for Fox.
Bradley Cooper and Reese Witherspoon are attached to star in the tale of best friends who are also spies and fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon). The men's bond disintegrates, and their ensuing battle escalates.

Overbrook and Robert Simonds are producing. Timothy Dowling ("Role Models") wrote the most recent draft.
The move seems to get the long-gestating project on track. The studio picked up the script in 1998, with the project seeing its share of producers, directors (including Gore Verbinski) and stars (Martin Lawrence) come and go.

I think there is a decent director lurking inside McG and I like his enthusiasm, picking this project up with a hotshot actor like Bradley cooper attached is not a bad move although the concept sounds like it could turn into slapstick stupidity, still there is talk of New York being destroyed as the two friends battle so I am guessing it has pretty large action sequences for a rom com which plays in McG's favour.
