Actress Kristen Wiig is planning to go behind the camera for the first time by signing a deal for a new comedy with TriStar.

The actress has joined forces with her `Bridesmaids` co-star and co-writer Annie Mumolo, for an original comedy, reports contactmusic.com.

Little is known about the film's plot, expect that the duo will play best friends who "find themselves in over their heads and out of their depths, which were, perhaps, not too deep to begin with."

The friends joked in a statement published on The New York Times: "'We're very excited to be writing. We will be going into a cave for months to finish. An actual cave. We found one that's nice and big. We're putting a couch in there."

Wiig added: "I've been wanting to direct for some time now. This seems like the perfect first project."
