Judd Apatow is filling out the cast for his next directorial effort, with Bridesmaids star Chris OâDowd, Lena Dunham (director of Tiny Furniture), Charlyne Yi (Knocked Up) and Wyatt Russell currently in negotiations to join the untitled ensemble comedy. Written by Apatow, the film is a spinoff of sorts from his 2007 comedy Knocked Up, focusing on Paul Rudd and Leslie Mannâs characters. Variety reports that OâDowd and Dunham will play employees of Ruddâs indie record company, Russell will portray a hockey player, and Yi will reprise her role as Jodi from Knocked Up.The cast for the untitled comedy currently includes Rudd, Mann, Megan Fox and Albert Brooks. OâDowd is just coming off the massive success of the Apatow-produced Bridesmaids. His turn as Wiigâs love interest in the film has him fielding a flood of offers, and deservedly so. No other plot details on Apatowâs flick are known at the moment, but itâs set to be released in December 2012.
