Anne Fletcher just might be gearing up to be the director-equivalent to Nora Ephron, the go-to-girl for romantic comedies. With 27 Dresses about to hit theaters, she's already signed up to direct a Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds (Just Friends) pairing in The Proposal. The story is about a publishing executive (Bullock) who orders her assistant (Reynolds) to marry her so she isn't deported back to Canada. Depending on how pathetic or bitchy she is, this could actually be pretty funny. However, for an example as to how it could fizzle, watch ABC Family's Holiday in Handcuffs, where Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) kidnaps some hot successful guy played by Mario Lopez (Saved by the Bell) to pretend to be her fiancee so her family doesn't think she's a loser. The Proposal will hit theaters in 2009.
