Four actors join Paul Rudd comedy





The Hollywood Reporter -- Hugh Dancy, Kathryn Hahn, Shirley Knight and Janet Montgomery are all boarding the Jesse Peretz-directed comedy "My Idiot Brother," starring Paul Rudd.

Currently filming in New York City, the film stars Rudd as the title character, an idealist who during the course of the movie crashes at the homes of each of his three, more ambitious sisters, played by Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer.

Dancy will play a pretentious painter friend of Deschanel's character; Hahn joins the cast as Rudd's ex-girlfriend; Knight will appear as his overbearing mother; and Montgomery will portray a British aristocrat whom the Banks character is profiling for a magazine piece.

The cast also includes Rashida Jones and Adam Scott.
