Jay Baruchel is teaming up with Jacob and Kevin Tierney once again. The Canadian comic actor — who stars in the father-and-son duo’s TIFF title The Trotsky — is attached to star in Jacob Tierney’s next film, Notre Dame de Grace. The elder Tierney will produce through Montreal’s Park Ex Pictures (Bon Cop, Bad Cop).

‘It’s a comedy rich in wit and on the nicest side of scary,’ Kevin Tierney told Playback Daily.

Baruchel (Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder) will be joined onscreen by Anne-Marie Cadieux, Emily Hampshire, Scott Speedman and Geneviève Bujold. Production is set for the first months of 2010 in Montreal. Telefilm Canada is behind the picture and Alliance Films will distribute in Canada. Park Ex will handle world sales.

The younger Tierney adapted the novel Chère voisine (Dear Neighbour) by Chrystine Brouillet. The story is set during a Montreal winter when a serial killer is on the loose in the neighborhood of Notre Dame de Grace, or ‘NDG.’ The plot revolves around three tenants in an apartment block who share a peculiar triangle of intrigue and romance, all watched over by a landlady who hears voices.
