Variety is reporting that Steve Buscemi and Dan Aykroyd have joined the cast of the Adam Sandler–Kevin James comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry for director Dennis Dugan and Universal Pictures.
The film was scripted by Sideways chums Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor and follows two straight, single Philadelphia firefighters who pretend to be a gay couple to qualify for domestic partner benefits. Buscemi will play a city worker from financial services who’s determined to expose the pair as cheats. Jessica Biel also stars and will play an attorney who reps the duo in their case and ends up being the object of Sandler’s affection.
