Ben Stiller Prepares to Spread Goodness

Ben Stiller has a lot on his plate right now, but somehow, he can still find time to spread cheer. Goodness, even. Stiller was tapped by Participant Media to direct and produce Help Me Spread Goodness, a comedic drama about a man who falls for a Nigerian scam, according to Variety.

After starring in a long string of movies, Stiller seems to like it more behind behind the camera these days. After his directorial stint in Tropic Thunder, he has moved on to take Steven Spielberg's place on the drama The Trial of the Chicago 7. His participation in Goodness depends mostly in the progress of Chicago 7.

Despite his love for directing, you can still see Stiller on camera battling stuffed animals and fossils during Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian out May 22.
