Reportedly, Ayoade got the role after filmmakers passed on using Chris Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>The film, written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, centers on a group of suburbaniutes who form a neighborhood crime watch group only to uncover a much larger conspiracy. The film stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Rosemarie DeWitt.<\/p>\n<p>Ayoade has been making some headway into Hollywood over the last couple of years. His British independent film directorial debut <strong>Submarine<\/strong> was distributed by the Weinstein Company last year. He has also directed a number of episodes of the series<em> Community<\/em>. His <em>IT Crowd<\/em> co-star Chris Dowd has been making similar in-roads as well. This summer he had a co-starring role in the hit <strong>Brides Maids<\/strong> and next summer will be seen in Judd Apatow\u2019s <strong>This Is Forty<\/strong>.
