Rob Corddry has landed his first starring role with "
Project A," a New Line action comedy being produced by Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld via their Red Hour shingle.
Corddry will star as the "A" in the venture, playing a man trained by the U.S. government as a Cold War experiment to become the world's biggest jerk. The script is written by Etan Cohen, one of the writers of Stiller's upcoming "Tropic Thunder."
