Aiming to surge deeper into film industry, Kristen Wiig is holding final negotiations to join John C. Reilly and Jenna Fischer starring in "Walk Hard", a comedy feature of Columbia Pictures production.

If a deal is reached, the beauty will likely be billed to play the wife of Reilly's character Dewey Cox, whose life journey becomes the film's center. Fischer, on the other hand, has already been reported to portray a June Carter Cash-like love interest for the man.

Production on the flick is about to be commenced this month in Los Angeles with Jake Kasdan directing from the script he worked on alongside producer Judd Apatow. The "Orange County" helmer is also set to produce together with Clayton Townsend.

Wiig, widely known as an "SNL" cast member, recently starred in "Unaccompanied Minors" opposite Wilmer Valderrama. She next will be seen playing the female lead in Columbia's upcoming comedy "The Brothers Solomon" which is set to open on August 31 this year.
