Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young currently stars Ben Stiller as the male half of an older couple that befriends a younger couple and, in the process, loosens up. James Franco was previously attached as the dude in the younger couple, but he’s dropped out for scheduling reasons — and now Jesse Eisenberg, who starred in Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale, is in talks. (Naomi Watts is also a casting possibility, as Ben Stiller’s wife.) Jesse Eisenberg: not a bad second option! [24Frames/LAT]
