An interesting cast comes together for John Cusack's reteaming with his Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity co-writer

Indeed, Cusack seems to be toplining this flick, which I first heard about when it started a small bidding war a few months back. Here's the quick hit from Variety:
John Cusack and Rob Corddry are set and Craig Robinson (“Knocked Up”) and Clark Duke (“Sex Drive”) are negotiating to star in MGM comedy “Hot Tub Time Machine,” which Steve Pink will direct.
Production starts April 20 in Vancouver. Cusack and New Crime partner Grace Loh will produce with Matt Moore.
Scripted by Josh Heald, the comedy follows a group of friends who are frustrated when they return to a ski lodge where they partied as teens. They then get in a hot tub -- which happens to be a time machine -- and get transported to 1987.
-Kind of a light premise, but perhaps they can make it work.
