Reese Witherspoon will show off her softball skills in an upcoming movie when she plays a professional sportswoman.

The Oscar winner has revealed she has been secretly planning the untitled Jim Brooks film for the past two years – and its great fun.

“It’s a movie with Jim Brooks and Paul Rudd and Bill Murray. I don’t know what the title is. I really have been making a movie with Jim Brooks for about two years now and one day we’ll start filming and it will be fantastic!

“We haven’t shot the movie yet. I play a professional softball player.”
