LOS ANGELES - Zach Galifianakis and Paul Rudd, who appear together in the upcoming summer comedy "Dinner for Schmucks," are teaming up for seconds.
They will star in "Will," a Paramount comedy to be directed by Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton of "Little Miss Sunshine" fame.
The story follows an ordinary guy (Rudd) who lives in a world where people's lives and destinies are being written by scribes in Heaven. The man wakes up one day to find that his heavenly writer (Galifianakis) has decided to no longer draft his life, and he must go about his day unscripted, ending up on a journey to fulfill his hidden potential.
Faris and Dayton have struggled to find a follow-up to the 2006 Oscar winner "Little Miss Sunshine." They were attached to do "Used Guys" at Fox, but that fell apart due to a ballooning budget.
Rudd was recently in theaters with the hit "I Love You, Man," while Galifianakis had a bumper 2009 with "The Hangover" and a small role in "Up in the Air."
