Krasinski
John Krasinski is set to join Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in the untitled comedy to be directed by Nancy Meyers in the spring for Universal Pictures.
Meyers wrote the script and will produce with Scott Rudin.
Krasinski committed to make the film during his hiatus from "The Office." He will next be seen starring in the Sam Mendes-directed "Away We Go," which Focus Features releases in June.
Krasinski made his debut as feature writer-director on "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men," an adaptation of the David Foster Wallace book, which premiered at Sundance.
