Mortimer gets used and Fiddy makes a bet

Crawling from the wreckage of the Pink Panther remake, Emily Mortimer has scribbled her name to no less than five movies already – presumably hopi⛄ng the il♓l-advised Steve Martin flick will eventually drop off the bottom of her CV.

Her sixth post-Panther outing will be in Jay Roach’s Used Guys opposite Ben Stiller and Jim C🌠arrey. The story is set in a futuristic society controlled by women, where men are💯 cloned then bought and traded like cars. Carrey and Stiller play two such fellas who decide to go in search of the lost meaning of manhood.

Mortimer plays Michelle, a woman against the principle of purchasing a partner until she buys Stiller and the two begin to fall🌳 in love. Roach is set to get cameras rolling in early June.

Meanwhile, G-Unit Films and Universal are set to hook up for heist flick Live Bet. Set in the underground criminal networks of New York City,♌ it marks a first foray into mainstream features for screenwriting siblings Charley and Vlas Parlapanides.

No dire🍸ctor attached as🦂 yet but no surprises that G-Unit honcho Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson is set to star.
