Joseph Gordon-Levitt Replaces James McAvoy in Untitled Comedy

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has signed on to star alongside Seth Rogen in an untitled comedy.

According to Summit, James McAvoy “has left the production due to unrelated circumstances beyond his control.”

The film will begin shooting this month and also stars Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston and Philip Baker Hall.

In a statement, Rogen said:

“It’s incredibly unfortunate that circumstances outside of everyone’s control have taken James away from the project, but, with James’s blessing, we were able to have Joseph step in to take on the role of Adam. We all look forward to working with James in the future.”
