First cropping up over a month ago with a bunch of names being eyed to join the film -- Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jay Pharaoh -- well, it seems Kidd is getting his way. CBS Films has confirmed the earlier trade report with Teller taking the lead, and have added that all the above on board for the movie in addition to "Community" star Alison Brie and Brandon T. Jackson("Tropic Thunder," "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief"). If you're going to make a comeback after a long hiatus from feature filmmaking, you couldn't ask for a better cast.
While it all feels a bit too on the nose (recession! job hunting! Kendrick playing a type-A personality!) we're hoping both the cast and material will elevate it into something more, and we're just glad Kidd is back. Still no word on Jesse Eisenberg doing his "Rodger Dodger" helmer a solid and popping up in a cameo, but we figure that's one they're gonna keep secret as long as they can. Filming starts next week.
