Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, the stars and creators of Comedy Central’s Broad City, are making a movie…with Paul Feig, the Hollywood Reporter announced. Feig has been one of the most vocal and active men in Hollywood to promote female-lead comedy, including Bridesmaids, The Heat, and the upcoming movie Spy. Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson are his latest collaborators, and they seemingly couldn’t be a better fit than to have Feig as a producer.

Along with Spy, Feig is behind the female-lead Ghostbusters reboot, which will star Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones (and is written by Katie Dippold) and Reese Witherspoon’s next film Wish List.

Glazer and Jacobson wrote script but are currently not attached to star…but they are pretty busy starring and writing their own TV series, currently in production for their third season.
