What better way to ring in the new year than with two of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jessica Biel and "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara are in negotiations for roles in Garry Marshall's "New Year's Eve."

The film serves as a sort-of sequel to this year's release of "Valentine's Day," but this time the ensemble project will follow various lovers preparing for the New Year holiday. The numerous storylines will combine, with Biel playing a pregnant woman who tries to win a cash prize given by a hospital to the couple who are first to give birth on New Year's Day.

Lea Michele and Abigail Breslin are already confirmed while Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank and Ashton Kutcher are in various stages of negotiations to join the cast.

Both actresses have string comedic talents, especially Vergara who has clearly proven herself to be quite the comedienne on "Modern Family." Although "Valentine's Day" was extremely formulaic, I admit it got some laughs out of me, and I'm sure this film will do the same. The cast truly is shaping up to be fantastic, and with a comedic vet like Marshall at the helm, it surely won't disappoint.

Filming kicks off shortly in New York City.
