UPDATE, 5:30 PM: Lionsgate announced that Up in the Air co-star Anna Kendrick also has been added to the cast of the film. The CAA-repped actress will play a Rosie, who reunites with an old flame and fellow food-truck owner and becomes pregnant.
PREVIOUS, 11:53 AM: Brooklyn Decker has been cast to star alongside Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez in Lionsgate’s film adaptation of the bestseller What To Expect When You’re Expecting. The Kirk Jones-directed romantic comedy is set to begin shooting this summer ahead of a May 11, 2012 release. Decker, repped by Gersh and Marilyn Talent, is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model who made her feature debut in this year’s Just Go WIth It. She also will appear in Universal’s Battleship. In the ensemble What To Expect, she will play the perky wife of a much older man who sails through her pregnancy with twins, much to the consternation of her friends.


damn, even her name is hot!
I’m not sure I get it… why cast someone like Brooklyn (whose main draw at this point is her attractiveness, as she is obviously a work in progress from an acting perspective) for a role where she’ll be pregnant (with twins no less)?
Not sure if it was a conscious decision by Decker or her management, but it may be because this movie will introduce her to the female audience in a manner that isn’t in-your-face sexual. As you’ve already stated, she’s known mainly for her body and that won’t last forever, and if she wants a prolonged career in Hollywood, she needs women to like her.
is this going direct to video or TV ? Sounds awful
Love her. Cant wait!!!!! Loved the book.
wow she is such a natural beauty. she’s definitely going to be a star!
Yay Brooklyn!!! Her hardwork is really paying off. Amazing agenting also helps.
If you had any inkling of a connection to this industry you’d know this is a huge movie. Clearly she is more than just a hot face if she is being cast in tentpole after tentpole. There are thousands of beautiful woman out there but only Brooklyn keeps getting cast.
And it keeps getting worse.
Why does anyone hire her? Can we stuff her and Rosie Huntington Whiteley on a cruise ship back to bikiniland??
Decker was surprisingly good in Just Go With It!
Battleship is slightly slow if you catch my whif.
