Rudd, Wiig, Topher Grace Lining Up for Sibling Indie

Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd, and Kristen Wiig are rumored to be joining the cast of Bobby Blue Sky, an independent feature from the Gotham Group, according to Pajiba. Rudd and Wiig have both acted in several Apatow productions including Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Wiig in a scene on the extended DVD), and Walk Hard, but haven’t appeared together onscreen outside of Rudd’s appearances on Saturday Night Live.

Also starring in Bobby Blue Sky is the underrated Topher Grace. The script is from Emily Kapnek (Parks and Recreation), and “focuses on three dysfunctional siblings coming to terms with the way their baby brother’s accidental fame as a character in their father’s children’s book series warped their lives.” The dysfunctional family theme seems similar to Rudd’s currently-filming My Idiot Brother, though perhaps Rudd is playing the “responsible” older brother here.

No further details are available, and consider this is an independent release, don’t be surprised if this never comes to fruition. But, it sure seems like an appealing concept and cast so we’ll be watching for news on this one very closely.
