Broussard will be a thief who helps them out, with Farmiga as a schoolmate and Mann as the mother of two of the girls.Coppola plans to direct her screenplay starting this spring in Los Angeles.Mann, who last played Jason Bateman's exasperated wife in The Change-Up, will reprise her role as Paul Rudd's better half in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up spin-off This Is Forty, which arrives on December 21 (assuming Judd isn't still editing it by then). Farmiga (younger sister to Vera) had a leading role on the first season of American Horror Story and appeared in big sis' Higher Ground. Broussard made his film debut with Rob Reiner's Flipped.
