The cast of Ricky Gervais' Cemetery Junction (previously known as The Men at the Pru) has grown by one, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A comedy/drama set in the 1970s, Cemetery Junction focuses on a group of Prudential employees who come of age while working in the insurance business. THR reports Matthew Goode has been cast in the role of Mike, a salesman who's dating the boss' daughter. Gervais is wearing multiple hats on the project which he co-wrote with Stephen Merchant. He'll also co-direct the film with Merchant, produce the pic, and will play a supporting part. Ralph Fiennes, Christian Cooke, Tom Hughes and Jack Doolan are also onboard Cemetery Junction.
Goode was last seen on the big screen playing Ozymandias in Zack Snyder's Watchmen. Goode recently completed work on A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore and is filming the romantic comedy Leap Year with Amy Adams.
