Noah Baumbach is reteaming with Scott Rudin for an untitled drama-comedy and is lining up Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh to star. The movie, which Baumbach is writing and directing as his follow-up to "The Squid and the Whale" will be distributed by Paramount's specialty film division, which is being run by new head John Lesher.

Although details are being kept under wraps, the film will be another multigenerational story that takes place over a weekend and follows a mom and her son who visit the mom's sister.

Kidman and Leigh are in talks to play the sisters; no deals are signed.

Baumbach's "Whale" of a movie has garnered six Independent Spirit Award noms, including directing and screenplay mentions for Baumbach. The film also received three Golden Globe nominations, including one for best motion picture musical or comedy.

UTA-repped Baumbach worked with Rudin on "The Life of Aquatic With Steve Zissou," which he co-wrote with Wes Anderson.

The movie is the second Rudin is doing for Par's as-yet-unnamed division despite having shifted his operation from Paramount to the Walt Disney Co.'s Miramax. Last week he set up "There Will Be Blood," with Paul Thomas Anderson directing and Daniel Day-Lewis starring.

Kidman, repped by CAA, recently wrapped shooting Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Visiting" for Oliver Hirschbiegel.

Leigh, who is married to Baumbach, is repped by UTA and Untitled. Her credits include "The Machinist," "In the Cut" and Todd Solondz's "Palindromes."
