It's an unlikely pairing, but it's happening. Silver screen icon Barbra Streisand has signed on to play Seth Rogen's mother in the upcoming film, 'My Mother's Curse,' according to E! News.
The flick, which was recently green-lighted by Paramount Pictures, centers around Rogen's character who takes his mother on a cross-country road trip in the hope of selling an invention.
In addition to starring in what is sure to be a comedic trip, the duo will also serve as producers for the film.
According to IMDB, the project will begin filming this spring after spending the last two years in development. No word yet on a release date or additional cast members.
Newly engaged Rogen is currently promoting his latest movie, 'The Green Hornet,' while Streisand will be honored as the 2011 MusiCares Person of the Year on Feb. 11 in Los Angeles.

Seth Rogen: George Lucas Believes 2012 Theories
Funnyman Seth Rogen had a recent run-in with 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas, who proceeded to tell him his theories about the "end of the world" in 2012, according to the Toronto Sun Times.
The actor was in a meeting with Lucas and fellow director Steven Spielberg when Lucas started talking about 2012 -- and not the 2009 John Cusack disaster movie.
"George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is gonna end in the year 2012, like, for real. He thinks it," Rogen said.
Spielberg doesn't seem to buy into his friend's theories.
"[Lucas is] going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like, 'My nerdy friend won't shut up, I'm sorry,'" Rogen said.
But was the 'Star Wars' creator just trying to pull a fast one on Rogen? He doesn't think so.
"I first thought he was joking ... and then I totally realized he was serious and then I started thinking, 'If you're George Lucas and you actually think the world is gonna end in a year, there's no way you haven't built a spaceship for yourself,'" Rogen continued. "So I asked him, 'Can I have a seat on it?'"
Though Lucas said he doesn't have a spaceship built, Rogen is convinced he'll find a way to survive.
"There's no doubt there's a Millennium Falcon in a garage somewhere with a pilot just waiting to go," he jests. "It's gonna be him and Steven Spielberg and I'll be blown up like the rest of us."
Maybe Lucas was just testing out his comedy chops, according to his daughter, Katie.
"Regarding my pops thinking the world is going to end in 2012: I have no idea if the conversation actually happened," she tweeted regarding her dad's far-fetched theories. "But he would TOTALLY say that. As a joke, obviously. Geez people, its funny. Get over it!"
