Mann turning '17' for New Line

By Carly Mayberry

Oct 24, 2007, ET

Leslie Mann will star opposite Zac Efron in New Line's teen comedy "17," being directed by Burr Steers.

Mann will play Scarlett, the wife of the adult character played by Efron.

Likened to Tom Hanks' character in 1988's "Big," the film's story centers on a grown man who finds himself as a 17-year-old trying to navigate high school.

Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot, who worked with Efron on "Hairspray," are producing through their Offspring Entertainment shingle. Jason Filardi wrote the script.

Jason Barrett is executive producing, while Mark Kaufman and Keith Goldberg are overseeing for the studio.

Mann, whose credits include Universal's "Knocked Up" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," is repped by CAA. It's her first project since signing with the agency.
