Universal is setting Steve Martin to join Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin in the untitled romantic comedy that Nancy Meyers wrote and will direct in February.

Meyers is producing with Scott Rudin.

Martin and Baldwin will play rivals for the affection of a woman (Streep). Meyers set up the project at U after making her two previous films at Columbia in "Something's Gotta Give" and "The Holiday." Universal acquired foreign on the latter, and the film performed more strongly overseas than it did domestically.

Martin next reprises his role as Inspector Clouseau in "Pink Panther 2," which Sony releases on Feb. 6.

He is reteaming with Meyers, who co-wrote and produced both of the "Father of the Bride" films in which Martin starred for Disney.
