She already said, "Yes Man" and spent "(500) Days of Summer," but now Zooey Deschanel will be able to call herself "Your Highness." The actress is heading to Northern Ireland this month to begin filming "Highness," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the comedy, which was penned by Ben Best and Danny McBride (both of whom star in and created HBO's "Eastbound & Down"), Zooey will play the virginal bride to a heroic prince (James Franco) who is on an adventure with his much lazier brother (Danny) to save their father's kingdom.
Rounding out the cast is Natalie Portman, who will play the object of Danny's affections, a warrior princess. The cast may sound like a bit of a mixed bag, but if we learned anything from Franco and McBride's absurd antics in last years hilarious "Pineapple Express," then we know that "Highness" is sure to bring laughs, cringes perhaps even a couple of tears.
What do you think about the premise of "Your Highness"? The cast?
