Five-Year Engagement Adds Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt joins the cast of Five-Year Engagement for Universal

Parks and Recreation star Chris Pratt has joined the cast of the Universal comedy Five-Year Engagement, with Rhys Ifans in talks to star as well.

Jason Segel and Emily Blunt star in the movie as a long-term couple, with the comedy charting the highs and lows of the relationship. We reported yesterday that another NBC actor, Community's Alison Brie, also joined the project, portraying Emily Blunt's younger sister. It isn't known what characters both Chris Pratt and Rhys Ifans will play in Five-Year Engagement.

Nick Stoller will direct from a script he co-wrote with Jason Segel, the same arrangement they had on the 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson will produce.

Aside from Parks and Recreation, Chris Pratt can next be seen in the 80s comedy Take Me Home Tonight, which opens this weekend, and in the upcoming baseball drama Moneyball. Rhys Ifans is currently starring as the villain in The Amazing Spider-Man, which is shooting in Los Angeles.

Production is slated to start on Five-Year Engagement at the end of April.

The Five-Year Engagement was released April 27th, 2012 and stars Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Pratt, Alison Brie, Lauren Weedman, Mimi Kennedy, David Paymer, Jacki Weaver. The film is directed by Nick Stoller.
