Livingston goes to Roach’s Dinner

Ron Livingston is teaming up with director Jay Roach in his new comedy “Dinner for Schmucks”. Pic is an adaptation of the Francis Veber-helmed French film “Le dinner de cons,” in which a group of bourgeois friends regularly invite the biggest schmucks to dinner to ridicule them (Variety). Livingston pairs up with a cast that consists of Steve Carrell, Zach Galifianakis, Paul Rudd and David Walliams.

Livingston previously acted in “The Time Traveler’s Wife” and the new Drew Barrymore movie “Going the Distance”. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing with the film under Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks SKG and Spyglass Entertainment.
