Jay Baruchel (TV's "Undeclared", "Just Legal") and Rose Byrne ("Troy", "Wicker Park") have signed on to star in "Pushing Up Daisies," an indie black comedy being directed by Chaz Thorne ("Poor Boy's Game") for Trilogy Entertainment says The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Thorne, "Daisies" centers on young man (Baruchel) who inherits a funeral parlor only to find that the business is dying -- because nobody in town is.
He teams up with a young embalmer (Byrne) to turn the business around, and the two of them leave a trail of suspicious deaths in their wake.
Shooting begins today in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
