The romantic comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting has just added two actors to its cast. Elizabeth Banks and Rob Huebel (The Other Guys) have signed on to the project, joining Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Brooklyn Decker and Anna Kendrick on What to Expect set up at Lionsgate Films.
Heidi Murkoff's popular book, which has sold over 16 million copies, was adapted for the screen by Shauna Cross (she did a rewrite of Heather Hach's script) and will be directed by Kirk Jones. Filming is expected to get underway this summer, with the studio aiming for a May 11, 2012 release.
Huebel is playing Gale, a "member of a motley crew of new dads who congregate in a city park in what is considered part play group, part secret society." Banks has taken on the role of a baby-crazy "author of a children's book about breast feeding and owner of The Breast Choice boutique. She is militant in her beliefs about what makes a good mother until she gets pregnant for the first time."The Official Synopsis:
"The film is a modern look at love through the eyes of four interconnected couples experiencing the thrills and surprises of having a baby, and ultimately coming to understand the universal truth that no matter what you plan for, life doesn't always deliver what's expected."
