Ben Stiller is to star in new movie `While We`re Young`
The actor is set to team up with James Franco in the Scott Rudin-produced film, with Greta Gerwig and Cate Blanchett also being offered roles.
Although the script is being kept under tight security it is thought it will feature Franco as a New York 20-something who, along with his girlfriend, inspires an uptight documentarian (Stiller) and his wife to loosen up, with hilarious consequences.
Gerwig is in line to play Franco`s girlfriend, while Blanchett is being touted for the role of Stiller`s wife.
While this movie will be a funny one, Stiller`s last role showed a more serious side to him as he took on the part of Roger Greenberg in `Greenberg`.
He said of the role: "I think it`s great to be able to do different things. I`ve been looking for something that`s like this, to find the right script with great filmmakers. It doesn`t come along that often."
