Actress Kathryn Hahn lines up two jobs

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Comedic actress Kathryn Hahn has landed a role in James Brooks' untitled comedy at Columbia.

The actress, along with husband Ethan Sandler, also will develop a pilot script at Sony Pictures Television, with Sandler writing as a potential starring vehicle for Hahn.

In the Brooks comedy, she'll play the assistant to Paul Rudd's lead role. The TV script, whose logline is being kept under wraps, will be a half-hour comedy.

Hahn has had character turns in a series of comedies, particularly Will Ferrell vehicles such as "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Step Brothers" and his upcoming used-car comedy "Live Hard, Sell Hard."
