John Cusack, Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson ("Knocked Up") are set and Clark Duke ("Sex Drive") is negotiating to star in MGM comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine," which Steve Pink will direct.

Production starts April 20 in Vancouver. Cusack and New Crime partner Grace Loh will produce with Matt Moore.

Scripted by Josh Heald, the comedy follows a group of friends who are frustrated when they return to a ski lodge where they partied as teens. They then get in a hot tub -- which happens to be a time machine -- and get transported to 1987.
