Paste favorite Zach Galifianakis recently signed on to be a part of Jay Roach's latest film, Dinner for Schmucks (due out in July of 2010).
The film, which is currently in pre-production, also stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carell. The all-comedian, all-star cast tells the story of a publisher who challenges his friends to bring the most pathetic guest to each of their weekly dinners. On this week, one of them shows up with a man so "schmucky" that he has the power to ruin the life of anyone who spends more than a few minutes with him. Galifianakis plays the manager of a mattress store who is dating Carell's ex-wife. The film is a re-make of Francis Veber's 1998 French farce, Le Dîner de Cons.
