Despite a recent trip to rehab to treat sexual addiction, Californication's top fornicator David Duchovny isn't having a hard time finding work. He just managed to snag a gig keeping up with The Joneses.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Duchovny, Demi Moore, Amber Heard and Gary Cole have all been cast in the social commentary dramedy, revolving around a picture-perfect superpopular suburban family who have actually been hired by an evil yet slightly genius marketing company to sell luxury goods to upscale communities.
Duchovny plays the tormented living-a-lie father, Moore stars as the career-driven bogus mom who begins to feel for her fake hubby, and Heard plays the sham daughter who strives to seduce her pretend papa.
Ah, yes, the American Dream.
Office Space boss extraordinaire Cole plays a neighbor in the film, production on which kicks off in Atlanta in mid-October.
Meanwhile, Guy Ritchie may be proving to have an even more sick sense of humor than first thought, with Jude Law in talks to play Watson to Robert Downey Jr.'s titular detective in Sherlock Holmes, according to Variety.
While no other major castings have been confirmed, it was reported in the British media last week that infamously scorned onetime Law fiancée Sienna Miller had also boarded the project after her Robin Hood project with Russell Crowe was pushed back till next year.
Somehow, we sense a retraction coming on.
Production on the drama kicks off in London next month.
