'The mother of all chick comedies!' Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston to join forces for new movie which will surpass the success of Bridesmaids

They are three of America's Sweethearts and now Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston are joining forces.
The trio, who have starred in some of the biggest romantic comedies, are reportedly searching for a script they can work on together.
According to RadarOnline, Sandra is behind the scheme to bring the group together for ‘the mother of all chick comedies’.
What a combination: America's Sweethearts Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston are reportedly considering collaborating on a comedy together
The insider explained: 'Sandra is the one who is friends with both Cameron and Jennifer, and would likely get top billing in the project.
'It's amazing that this is even being considered by this group - and shows that they're putting aside old rivalries to find ways of staying relevant in recession-racked Hollywood.
'Although there isn't a script or concept in play just yet, the film could do for girl comedies what The Avengers did for superhero movies.'
The stars have seen how successful female led comedies including Bridesmaids and Sanda's The Heat have been and believe they could surpass those with their own flick.
Top billing: Sandra is reportedly masterminding the project and as a result would receive top billing
'The success of The Heat and the movie Bridesmaids has shown that female buddy comedies are the hottest thing going and Cameron, Sandra and Jen would love to work together and rake in box office gold,' the source added.
They are also searching for a director and those interested include The Heat helmer Peter Chernin and Drew Barrymore, who is currently on the lookout for a new project to direct.
Bridesmaids scribe and star Kristin Wiig has ruled out a sequel despite numerous offers.
Success: The trio are hoping to replicate and surpass the success of Bridesmaids, which was released in 2011
From an industry perspective, it's not hard to imagine why demand was so high for a Bridesmaids spin-off. With a dearth of sharply-written female-driven comedies hitting the screens in recent years, the R-rated comedy easily soared to the top of the box office charts, taking in $300 million in world-wide ticket sales.
The 2011 comedy helped clear the way for a series of female buddy flicks to get the green light including Bachelorette and Pitch Perfect albeit with far less success - and this summer's The Heat starring Melissa McCarthy and Bullock.

'It's amazing that this is even being considered by this group' Why is it amazing? Look at the group of super-egos they put together for Expendables 2.
Anything to get mugs to fork out more money so that they can buy ANOTHER 10 bedroom , 10 bathroom multi million dollar mansion with swimming pool , expensive cars and security ...in a gated complex .....so that they can keep out the 'riff raff' who enabled them to buy the above mentioned mansion in the 1st place. And when they do the PR , they'll be the usual "We had a blast working together" " It was the most fun we've ever had" "Wedid this for the fans"
Sorry this trio could never make anything to surpass what Kristen Wigg and Amy Poelher do! Just a fact.
Sandra Bullock is the only one I would want to see. Jennifer Aniston can't act. Cameron Diaz can, but I can't see her with Sandra. No thanks, I'm out!
I absolute love this... Jen Aniston and Sandra Bullock. People are saying ohhhhh Sandra is bigger and better... yet Jen is ICONIC but to me their both amazing. I like Cameron Diaz too. But really going to watch the movie for Jen Aniston and Sandra Bullock!!!!!! Can't wait.
This will be beyond awful. 1/ women aren't funny, 2/ none of them are hot enough anymore to make any but the most PW'd male go to watch, 3/ this will get 'Snakes on a Plane' reviews.
And therein lies the problem with Hollywood: one movie in one genre is successful, and then everyone tries to replicate its success with the same formula. Jennifer Aniston can only succeed in ensemble casts (let's face it...the last thing she was REALLY GOOD in by herself was The Good Girl, and that was ages ago,) Cameron Diaz has already done this with the Charlie's Angels movies...and Sandra Bullock doesn't need it. They are all too old for romantic comedies...Sex and the City has saturated the market with two movies that weren't even necessary and perpetual re-runs on TV. Ms. Bullock won her Oscar for playing a sassy, smart middle-aged woman...The Proposal was her last rom-com and it should stay her last rom-com. Cameron Diaz...Jennifer Aniston...basically play the same characters over and over and over again. Follow in the footsteps of Charlize Theron, please, and play funny, gritty and insightful like in Young Adult; don't go for cute and funny...you're all way past that!

This story would only make sense if it were April Fool's Day, not New Year's. Maybe replay ot then and it will be more believable.
