According to reports, Jillian Bell has bagged the role of the man who will be seen romancing Channing Tatum or the mermaid in the Splash remake. Imagine Entertainment’s Ron Howard and Brian Grazer will serve as the producers of the flick.

Tatum and Bell have previously worked together in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's helmed film 22 Jump Street.
