We reported Paul Rudd had joined the indie comedy My Idiot Brother, directed by Jesse Peretz, last week. Now THR has the exclusive that four lucky ladies will be by his side. Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer and Rashida Jones will star opposite Rudd. Check out the plot below.
“Brother” centers on an idealist (Rudd) dealing with his over¬bearing mother who crashes at the homes of his three ambitious sisters and brings truth, happiness and a sunny disposition into their lives while also wreaking havoc.
We also know the character descriptions of the women below:
Banks is a career-driven single about to get her big break in journalism after spending years writing about accessories at a fashion magazine; Deschanel is a bisexual whose flakiness and lies are getting in the way of moving forward with her caring, responsible girlfriend (Jones); and Mortimer plays a Park Slope mom too worried about having the perfect life and children to notice that her marriage is falling apart.
My Idiot Brother starts shooting next month in New York City.
