Jon Hamm and Zach Galifianakis are 'Keeping Up with the Joneses'


Maybe it's the vast physical disparity between the traditionally ruggedly handsome Jon Hamm and the...unconventional Zach Galifianakis, but they make for a great comedy duo. We've seen them on SNL and Between Two Ferns together and both times they were hilarious. So it only makes sense to put their weird chemistry together in a comedy movie.

Hamm and Galifianakis will star in Keeping Up with the Joneses, and if that wasn't promising enough, Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland) has signed on to direct. The film centers on a "type-A couple in an idyllic suburban neighborhood who discover that their new, seemingly perfect neighbors are undercover agents."

Unfortunately, there isn't likely to be spot for Galifianakis to trade verbal jabs with President Barack Obama as he did on Between Two Ferns this week. [THR]
