Cross Paths With the Devil



David Cross will join perpetual pie fucker Jason Biggs and Undeclared slacker Timm Sharp in a new CBS pilot titled I'm in Hell. If picked up for series, it will follow Biggs as a dead mover-shaker forced to return to Earth, jobless and penniless, now that Hell runneth over with sinners. Cross will play an agent from Below. The pilot was written by Gregory Thompson and Aron Abrams, who've worked together previously on King of the Hill and Everybody Hates Chris, and will be directed by Sandler standby Frank Coraci, a man well versed in creating Hell on Earth via his most recent film Click.

Coraci is also attached to direct Johnny Knoxville in the comic book film Hawaiian Dick, while Cross is part of the star-studded ensembles for the improv poker comedy The Grand and Todd Haynes' oddball Dylan biopic I'm Not There. He'll also appear in his former Arrested Development co-star Michael Cera's web series Clark and Michael.

Biggs will be back in theaters later this year with Isla Fisher in Michael Ian Black's "Worst Title of the Year" award winner Wedding Daze, formerly known as The Pleasure of Your Company, and with Paul Rudd in the psychic ghost rom-com How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiancée.
