Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are set to team up for a buddy cop movie from Bridesmaids director Paul Feig.

The untitled project would “follow the strained working relationship between a high-strung FBI agent (Bullock) and an unconventional Boston cop (McCarthy),” according to Variety.

A deal was reportedly reached late Friday.

McCarthy garnered an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Feig’s Bridesmaids and next appears in Judd Apatow’s This Is 40.

Bullock’s next big role is in the sci-fi flick Gravity.

“Parks and Recreation” writer-producer Katie Dippold is set to pen the buddy cop script.
