Jonah Hill officially joins Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller in Neighborhood Watch


Boo Radley...oops that's the newly skinny Jonah Hill(my bad) has officially joined the cast of Neighborhood Watch, after first being rumored for a role just last week. The comedy will star Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn as part of a neighborhood watch program that's really just an excuse for the dudes to all hang out. It had been said that Hill was negotiating for a bigger payday thanks to his well regarded presence opposite Brad Pitt in Moneyball. I guess those issues are all wrapped up now, and Hill can spend that extra cash buying bland turkey sandwiches at Subway™.

Akiva Schaffer(Hot Rod) is directing, with Rosemarie Dewitt co-starring as Stiller's wife. Hill will play a sidekick to Vaughn's character, constantly embellishing his past to give himself a tough edge.

You can see Jonah Hill next in the David Gordon Green comedy, The Sitter, which may be the last time we see him fat and funny. He'll just be skinny, creepy, and probably laugh-free after that. [Deadline]
