Melissa McCarthy To Join Tiffany Haddish In Crime Drama THE KITCHEN

Melissa McCarthy ("Bridesmaids") is in talks to star alongside Tiffany Haddish ("Girls Trip") in the crime drama "The Kitchen", which is being developed by New Line and DC Entertainment. The film will be "Straight Outta Compton" scribe Andrea Berloff's directorial debut, and it's based on the 2014 DC Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle.

The story is set in 1970s New York and focuses on the Irish mafia. The protagonists are three female anti-heroes, mob wives, who take over their husbands' criminal enterprise after they were arrested by the FBI, and run the business even more ferociously than their spouses ever did.

McCarthy can also be seen in Marielle Heller's drama "Can You Ever Forgive Me ?", which opens in October, and this summer's comedy "Life of the Party" directed by her husband Ben Falcone. She is also set to star in the holiday musical "Margie Clause", which she is also producing for New Line.
