Nina Dobrev of The Vampire Diaries fame joins New Girl‘s Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. in Let’s Be Cops, a new comedy movie directed by Luke Greenfield.

Variety reports that Nina Dobrev has landed a role in Let’s Be Cops, which stars Jake Johnson (New Girl) and Damon Wayans Jr. (Happy Endings). Dobrev joins the productions as Wayans’ love interest.

Incidentally, Johnson and Wayans have previously worked together on New Girl, as Wayans was originally set to star as Coach (and appeared in the show’s pilot episode), but was replaced by Lamorne Morris, who plays Winston.

In the movie, Johnston and Wayans  play two friends who impersonate cops, and accidentally mess with a mobster (James D’Arcy).

Let’s Be Cops is directed by Luke Greenfield (The Girl Next Door, Something Borrowed), who will also produce the movie along with Simon Kinberg.

Are you looking forward to seeing this movie? It’ll be fun to see Nina Dobrev in a comedy, and we already know that Wayans and Johnson have great chemistry!

The movie is set for release in 2014. Jake Johnson has also been cast in the movies The Pretty One (2013) and Townies (2014), while Damon Wayans Jr. can be seen in Someone Marry Barry later this year.
