Bill Murray (Ghostbusters) and Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids) have been set to co-star in odd couple comedy Epiphany from Palm Springs helmer Max Barbakow. Rocket Science, CAA Media Finance, and Range Media Partners are launching the feature at the European Film Market in Berlin this week.

Epiphany follows Favorite Ives (Wiig), an heiress and fashionista whose fortune evaporates overnight, as she embarks on a two-week search for a rich husband in a bid to fight creditors and keep a roof over her head. She meets eccentric math savant billionaire Oz Bell (Murray), who needs Ives’ spirit and spontaneity as much as she needs his money.
