Warner Bros. Comedy Man-Witch Taps Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons

 

Jim Parsons will be making the jump to the big screen via Warner Bros.’ supernatural comedy, Man-Witch. THR has the scoop, noting that the addition of Parsons heralds a chance for the studio to pump fresh blood into the dormant project and it’s understood the small screen stalwart will assist in producing Man-Witch opposite Neal Moritz.

First hatched at Warner back in 2005, it was Hangover director Todd Phillips that was in line to helm the picture, however the filmmaker eventually joined Black and Galifianakis out the exit door when other projects came calling. Now, more than a decade later, the studio appears to have settled on its Man-Witch, with Parsons set to play the role of a school teacher “who abruptly discovers he’s got witchlike powers. A coven of real witches takes him in, promptly sending him to “witch school,” where he is the lone adult, surrounded by little girl witches-in-training.”

Parsons’ previous film credits include Zach Braff’s two directorial efforts Wish I Was Here and Garden State, along with a small role in The Muppets back in 2011.
