Jason Segel And Ed Helms Join Duplass Brothers’ Stoner Comedy Jeff Who Lives At Home

The film has been described as a Sword in the Stone-style quest movie about a stoner’s search for some wood glue. The story takes place over the course of one day, and follows two brothers, “one a loser who lives at home” (Segel) and the other “more together but overbearing” (Helms). The role of their mother has not yet been cast. Judy Greer is in talks to play Helms’ wife. Shooting is set to begin in Louisiana in April 2010.
The Duplass Brothers broke onto the scene as part of the indie mumblecore movement (The Puffy Chair, Baghead…etc) working on mostly improvised scripts with unknown indie actors and consumer-grade digital video camera. I really love their style and the very real moments that result from their shooting style. The brothers have since been making the quasi-transistion into Hollywood.
