Stoll Set To "Leave You"

Corey Stoll has joined the comedy "This Is Where I Leave You" says Variety.

 

Based on Jonathan Tropper's novel, the story centers on a father who dies and requests that his highly dysfunctional and non-religious family sit Shiva for seven days.

Tina Fey will play Jason Bateman's older sister, a woman who is married and whose first love now has brain damage.  Stoll will play the brother of Bateman and Fey. Kathryn Hahn will likely play Bateman's sister-in-law.Ari Graynor is rumored as well

Tropper has written the adapted script.

At one point Goldie Hawn, was to play the family matriarch while Bateman, Zac Efron, and Leslie Mann were poised to be playing siblings. While Malin Akerman would play Bateman’s wife whose affair with his boss (Jason Sudeikis) goes public.

Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum") replaced Adam Shankman as director on the pic last November.

Jennifer Gibgot, Paula Weinstein Shankman and Jeff Levine are producing the film.

There are plans to shoot it this summer in NYC
