Emma Stone and husband Dave McCary are in talks to team up together on an untitled Universal project, with Stone as the star and McCary as the director.

Young Rock supervising producers Patrick Kang and Michael Levin wrote the original spec screenplay for the film.

Details about the project are being kept under wraps for now.

Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen and Dan Levine are set to produce through 21 Laps alongside Michael H. Weber. 

The married couple and Ali Herting are also in talks to produce through Fruit Tree.

Stone is fresh off of her second Oscar win for best actress after taking home the Academy Award for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ "Poor Things" this year. She previously won for "La La Land" in 2017. 

The actress is also known for her roles in "The Favourite", "The Help", "Easy A", "The Amazing Spider-Man", and more.

She recently served as an executive producer on "The Curse" and is set to reunite with frequent collaborator Lanthimos this summer in his upcoming movie, "Kinds of Kindness".

McCary is a writer, director and producer who most recently worked on "A Real Pain", "Problemista" and executive produced "The Curse" alongside Stone. 

He previously directed "Brigsy Bear" and served as a writer and director on Saturday Night Live, where he and Stone met in 2016, for five seasons.
