According to The Hollywood Reporter Kevin Kline is in negotiations to join Steve Martin in The Pink Panther for MGM as shooting is set to start in May in New York.
Kline would play Inspector Dreyfus who needs an idiot to take over the investigation of the missing legendary “Pink Panther” diamond ring. The person he needs is a fool who will divert public attention that in turn will make him look better when he solves the case himself. He then turns to Inspector Clouseau (Martin).
