Tadpole Director Takes On '13 Going On 30'

Gary Winick ("Tadpole") is in negotiations to direct Jennifer Garner ("Alias") in Revolution Studios' comedy "13 Going on 30," reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Production is being geared to start early next year while Garner is on hiatus from her ABC series, now in its sophomore season.

Written by Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, "13" is described as a female "Big." It follows a 13-year-old girl who dreams of being popular. During her birthday party, she engages in the party game Seven Minutes in the Closet. The game turns out to be a humiliating experience for her, and she refuses to come out of the closet. When she eventually does emerge, she finds herself five days shy of her 30th birthday.
