Matthew Goode has been cast in “Cemetery Junction,” the Ricky Gervais-Stephen Merchant dramatic comedy about 1970s insurance salesmen. The film had been previously titled “The Men at the Pru.”
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Goode will play Mike, an eager salesman dating his boss’ daughter.
“Cemetery” takes a look at a group of twentysomething men working at the Prudential insurance company. The film explores their relationships with each other as well as the women in their lives.
Gervais and longtime collaborator Merchant wrote the script and will direct. Ralph Fiennes and Gervais also star alongside Christian Cooke, Tom Hughes and Jack Doolan.
Goode, who was last seen as the villain Adrian Veidt in “Watchmen,” was recently cast in the romantic comedy “Leap Year” starring Amy Adams. He also appears in Tom Ford’s “A Single Man” as a college professor.
