(CBS) Chelsea Handler is in negotiations to join the cast of "Fun Size," a teen comedy starring Nickelodeon actress Victoria Justice.

The late-night host and comedienne would play the mom of a sarcastic teenage girl (Justice) who is forced to take her brother trick-or-treating on Halloween, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She loses her brother, and must find him before their mother finds out.

The film is shooting in Cleveland, Ohio, THR reports, and will be directed by TV creator Josh Schwartz.

This isn't Handler's first foray onto the big screen. She appeared in the recent Easter comedy "Hop" and will be in the upcoming film "This Means War." Last month, it was also reported that Handler take on a more serious role in the film "Mall," alongside "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" star Vincent D'Onofrio.
