Cobie Smulders in Talks for 'Starbuck'

"How I Met Your Mother" star Cobie Smulders is in negotiations for the female lead in DreamWorks' untitled remake of the hit Canadian comedy STARBUCK, Variety reports. She would star alongside Vince Vaughn and Chris Pratt ("Parks and Recreation").

Ken Scott, who directed the original will return to helm the new version from his own script, which tells the story of a middle-aged man (Vaughn) whose life is turned upside down when he learns he has fathered 533 children through sperm donation. When a few hundred of the children express an irrepressible need to meet their father, he must decide whether or not he will step up and reveal his identity.

Smulders is in talks to play Vaughn's pregnant girlfriend, while Chris Pratt is set to play Vaughn's lawyer.
