Eccentrically scruffy Welshman Rhys Ifans is set to join Ben Stiller in his latest movie, **Greenberg **- joined by a pair of teen temptresses, Brie Larson (upcoming in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) and serial-school-girl, Juno Temple (St Trinians/ Wild Child).
The film follows Stiller's unhappy New Yorker, who drops everything to housesit for his brother in LA whilst figuring stuff out. Along for the ride is Ifans, who plays his best mate struggling through a divorce.
As would be anticipated with this kind of travelling-to-pastures-new-to-find-oneself dramedy (see also The Holiday), Stiller's character gets some romance back (with someone closer to his own age, we might add) - by hooking up with his brother's assistant, set to be played by kooky indie actress Greta Gerwig.
Brought to us by No Country For Old Men super-producer Scott Rudin, the indie-sounding flick is written and directed by The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou's Noah Baumbach, and begins shooting later this month.
