From Variety comes word that French actor Alain Chabat is now attached to play the titular role in the upcoming buddy comedy The Dubber.

The film will tell the story of a man who provides the French dubbing voice for a top Hollywood star. When the A-lister has an on-set meltdown and goes missing, he travels to the US to help find him.

The idea came from Richard Raddon and filmmaker Marina Zenovich; the script was then written by David Gilcreast and writer-director Jay Chandrashekhar, with a second draft by Mark and Jay Duplass.
