Alan Poul (“Swingtown,” “Big Love,” “Six Feet Under”) is in final negotiations to direct Plan B for CBS Films.  The romantic comedy, which stars Jennifer Lopez, begins filming in May and is slated to hit theaters in January 2010. 

Poul is making his feature directing debut on the film with the script written by Kate Angelo. The story centers on a single woman (Lopez) who turns to artificial insemination to answer her ticking clock, only to see her back-up plan turned on its side when the man of her dreams shows up at the same time as her positive pregnancy test results. Casting for the male lead is currently underway.
