The original film centered on a couple (Rogen and Byrne) whose neighborhood was turned upside down when a fraternity moved in next door.
Variety first reported the casting. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, who will also act as executive producers along with Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake. The specifics of her role are unknown, but given how effectively Moritz tormented Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy during her time on 30 Rock, we can easily imagine her as an even bigger foil for Rogen than Efron was. Rogen, Efron and Rose Byrne will be reprising their roles from the original film.
Rogen and Goldberg will return to produce under their Point Grey banner along with trusted collaborator James Weaver. She also starred in the romance movie “If I Stay” and appeared alongside Denzel Washington in “The Equalizer“.
