Renee Zellweger to Direct Johnny Knoxville for 4 1/2 MINUTES

Renee Zellweger (Bridget Jones Diary) practically disappeared over the last few years but is now back and jumping into familiar territory, starring in a comedy opposite Johnny Knoxville (Jacka**, Fun Size). One thing that's different, though: she will direct it. 

Zellweger will make her directorial debut with the indie 4 1/2 Minutes, which is set in the world of stand up comedy. Knoxville will play a comedian whose life is unraveling and needs work. He is hired by a single mom (Zellweger) to babysit her son, who happens to be a genius.
