It was has been announced that the star has signed up alongside Steve Coogan, Deborah Ann Woll and Elliott Gould for He Loves Me. They join a cast that already includes Paul Dano and Annette Bening. Directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton are also said to be looking for another former The Daily Show comedian as a lucky charm following the success of Steve Carell's performance in their critically lauded debut, Sundance festival breakout hit Little Miss Sunshine.

He Loves Me will star Paul as a young author struggling with writer's block following the success of his first novel. When told to craft his ideal woman to get him back to writing he's stunned to find his dream lady actually exists. Zoe Kazan, who plays the dream girl, also wrote the screenplay.
