“Zombieland” stars Emma Stone and Woody Harrleson have both signed on to the cast of the upcoming romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits.” Will Gluck, who directed Stone in “Easy A,” will direct the romantic comedy for Screen Gems.
Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis star in the film as friends who have just seen their respective relationships ended in horrific fashion. Stone and Harrelson join a cast that already includes Patricia Clarkson, Richard Jenkins, Jenna Elfman, and Andy Samberg. New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez is also in negotiations to make his film debut in the movie, though it is not known if he will appear as himself or another character. Filming on the project begins next month in and around New York.
Stone and Harrelson recently starred together in the surprising hit film “Zombieland.” It is unknown at this time what roles the two actors will fill in the cast.
