Reynolds, Nl Will Engage In 'sex Talk'

Coming off the studio's "Blade: Trinity," Ryan Reynolds is in negotiations to reteam with New Line Cinema on the Team Todd production "Sex Talk."

The project centers on a sports reporter, to be played by Reynolds, who finds popularity by applying sports terminology and strategy to solve the problems people have with their sex lives. The project has had a string of attachments, including Ben Affleck followed by Seann William Scott and helmer Adam Shankman.

Sources said the studio is known to be pleased with the actor's work in the David Goyer-directed "Blade," which Reynolds recently finished, and are hoping to gear up the project for an early 2004 start.

New Line and Team Todd are currently out to directors on the project. At the studio, the project is being overseen by Stokely Chaffin and Jeff Katz with Team Todd sisters Suzanne and Jennifer Todd handling producing chores. Tempest Farley and Analisa LaBianco wrote the screenplay.

Reynolds is repped by UTA and Original Management. His other credits include "The In-Laws," "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" and "Finder's Fee."
