Paul Feig in talks to work with another funny woman

Feig and Kaling have a long association with each other: Both made names for themselves on NBC’s The Office, Feig as a director and producer, and Kaling as narcissistic time bomb Kelly Kapoor. Since the show ended, Kaling has been focused on her Mindy Project, currently on Hulu, while Feig branched out into film with Bridesmaids. Kaling’s been making a similar push into theaters in recent months: She had a major part as Disgust in last year’s Inside Out, and was recently cast in Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle In Time. She’s also part of the titular all-woman cast of Ocean’s Eight (a movie which actually kind of sounds like a Feig project, but which is actually being directed by Gary Ross).
