(Cover) - EN Movies - Naomi Watts and Jesse Eisenberg have been linked to Noah Baumbach's latest comedy.

Moviemaker Noah cast Jesse in 2005 quirky comedy The Squid and the Whale, and it appears the pair could be set to work together again.

Noah is organising the cast for his latest project While We're Young, and according to The Los Angeles Times, Jesse and Naomi are in talks to star.

The movie, which is slated for release in 2012, will tell the story of a childless couple who feel left out as their pals begin to have children and so decide to make pals with a younger couple.

It is thought Jesse, 27, could play half of the younger couple, while 42-year-old Naomi may portray one half of the older couple.

Previous stars linked to the movie included James Franco in the young guy role and Cate Blanchett in the older woman role. Ben Stiller is already confirmed for the older guy part. (C) Cover Media
