Josh Hutcherson will reportedly star in James and Dave Franco's new film 'The Disaster Artist'.
The 'Hunger Games' actor will play actor Philip Haldiman in the making-of style feature about cult classic 'The Room', according to Variety.
Josh - who will be cast as the actor who played the role of Denny in the original flick - has previously starred in both of James Franco's directorial efforts, 'In Dubious Battle' and 'The Long Home'.
The film - penned by 'The Fault in Our Stars' writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber - focuses on how filmmaker Tommy Wiseau came up with the idea for 2003's 'The Room', which was widely received as one of the most inept movies of all time.
Elsewhere, James, 37, will take on the lead role as Wiseau and will act alongside his brother Dave who will star as 'The Room' co-writer Greg Sestero.
Good Universe is producing along with James Franco and Point Grey Pictures principals Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Tommy himself previously said he thinks James will be great at portraying him.
Asked if he thinks James will be any good, he said: "Absolutely. I talked to him, but it's up to him how he wants to handle it. I'm a difficult person. No, I'm a nice guy!"

Jar Jar Binks will definitely not appear in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.
Lucasfilm Ltd. president Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed the unpopular alien, who was one of the main supporting characters in the 1999 'Star Wars' film 'The Phantom Menace', will not be in the forthcoming flick.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday (06.12.15), Kathleen, 62, said: "Jar Jar is definitely not in the movie."
While the filmmakers gave little away at the event, Kennedy also revealed there will not be any Ewoks from 1983's 'Return of the Jedi', which she joked was down to actor Harrison Ford who plays Han Solo in the film.
Speaking about the lack of the teddy bear-like creatures in the film, she quipped: "That's because Harrison insisted on it."
Elsewhere, Ford revealed he wanted 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas to kill off Han Solo in the original movie 'A New Hope'.
He said: "I did say that I wanted Han Solo to die in the original, but that wasn't because I thought I didn't want to play the character.
"I didn't anticipate at that point that there would ever be another film.
"So I thought it would be great if he sacrificed himself and lent some gravitas to the enterprise."

Tom Hardy won Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) in London last night (06.12.15).
The 38-year-old actor walked away with the top prize at the annual event for his portrayal of the infamous twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray in the popular crime thriller film 'Legend'.
The handsome star was up against the likes of Tom Courteney, Colin Farrell, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hiddleston but, with his jam-packed schedule, was unable to attend the ceremony in order to pick up his impressive gong.
His 'Revenant' co-star Domhnall Gleeson accepted the trophy on Hardy's behalf while he was across town at the screening of his forthcoming film at Leicester Square.
Taking to the stage to pick up the prize, Gleeson told the audience in his acceptance speech: "Tom has decided to make a fool of me again - I have nothing to do with this film."
Meanwhile, the Irish actor was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for 'Brooklyn' but was beaten by his own father Brendan, who won for his performance in 'Suffragette.'
And to make matters worse, Gleeson, 32, had to accept the award on his dad's behalf as well as he was also absent.

John Boyega says 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' feels like "another project".
The 23-year-old Brit has been cast in the role of Finn in the eagerly-awaited new sci-fi movie and claims to be calm about its release, despite the huge expectations surrounding the movie.
Asked whether he's nervous about the reaction, the London-born star said: "Nah, it's work. It just feels like another project."
And John also insisted his nerves won't increase as the movie's release draws nearer.
He told the Sunday Times newspaper: "Not at all. I'm excited. For me, my focus is seeing the film. Even though you're in it, you just don't know how it's all going to be put together."
The cast of the J.J. Abrams-directed movie have been notoriously tight-lipped about the plot and as the release date gets closer, John remains reluctant to divulge too many secrets.
Asked about his on-screen character Finn, he said: "He's in and out. You know? Freelance."
John also teased a few other plot details, saying: "We have the First Order, led by Kylo Ren, then the Resistance - it's the aftermath of the war and the beginning of the new war."

Cate Blanchett's kids think going to work with her is like a "big sleepover".
The 'Carol' actress and her theatre director husband Andrew Upton - who have sons Dashiell, 13, Roman, 11, Igantius, seven, and baby daughter Edith, who was adopted earlier this year, together - initially wanted to "quarantine" their children from their "unpredictable" careers, but they now adore being on set and backstage at the theatre, though the couple won't encourage their brood to follow in their footsteps unless they "really" want to do it.
Blanchett said: "Initially we tried to quarantine the children from the unpredictability of creative life, but being backstage is like a big sleepover. They love it.
"If I was a lawyer, people would think, of course my children are going to become members of the bar.
"In my case, people are saying, 'Your children want to be actors.' But they have to really want to do it because there are a lot of pitfalls and rejections along the way."
Blanchett and Upton -who is executive producer of her new movie 'Carol' - previously ran the Sydney Theatre Company together and the 46-year-old actress loves working with her husband because she finds him so "fascinating".
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "A lot of people looked at us in horror when we said we wanted to run a theatre company together but it seemed like a natural extension.
"When I met him, I felt I could finally talk to someone about my work and work generally.
"Just talking to him, I found him fascinating. I love working with him."

Daniel Radcliffe was intimidated when he met James McAvoy.
The 26-year-old actor was never fazed when working on the 'Harry Potter' films alongside acting greats such as Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman, but was "in awe" of his 'Victor Frankenstein' co-star because he has always been such a fan of his work.
He said: "I was much more in awe of James than I was initially with a lot of the senior actors on 'Potter'.
"When I first met Maggie Smith, I Was nine and did not know who Maggie Smith was! I had not seen 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'. I was gloriously unintimidated by all of those people.
"But when I met James, I'd grown up watching 'The Last King of Scotland.' 'Inside I'm Dancing' was a huge f***ing film to me and I remember being obsessed with 'Atonement'.
"Suddenly you're working with him. That was very intimidating."
Luckily, the two actors got on very well and Radcliffe thinks his new friend gave a "phenomenal" performance in their movie.
He told Total Film magazine: "What he brings to the character is phenomenal. He's f***ing extraordinary in it."

James McAvoy enjoys doing action scenes because he can get drunk the night before filming.
The 'Victor Frankenstein' star insists physical moments and tricky stunts are not as difficult as portraying emotion so he feels more relaxed for those shoots.
Asked his biggest challenge, he said: "Not the action. Action is the bit where you go, 'Ahhhh great I can go on the p**s the night before.'
"As long as you jump from here to there and don't fall down in between, it's dead simple."
However, the 36-year-old actor hasn't always come away from his movies unscathed.
He said: "I was OK on this film ['Victor Frankenstein'] but I managed to punch the camera on my last job.
"I was f***ing dying mate. My whole hand swelled up and it looked like I was wearing a boxing glove."
McAvoy - who has a five-year-old son, Brendan, with wife Anne-Marie Duff - previously portrayed a depraved policeman in 'Filth' and admitted the role has attracted some "weird" offers from fans.
He admitted: "I've had a lot more offers of weird sex and stuff like that since doing the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's 'Filth'."

Gwendoline Christie plays a Stormtrooper with "a heavy dose of sass" in 'Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.'
The 'Game of Thrones' actress adored her character Captain Phasma and was determined to have "fun" with her body-covering distinctive armour.
She said: "From the second I put the costume on, I really felt like I wanted to have fun with it.
"Definitely I wanted the character to have femininity and a heavy dose of sass because I don't think we've seen that in a Stormtrooper before.
"We haven't seen a female Stormtrooper behave that way."
Gwendoline found her costume particularly "interesting" because her physical appearance remains hidden.
She told Total Film magazine: "It was a very interesting experience because one of the reasons I love Captain Phasma is not only is she the first female villain in 'Star Wars', but I think it's unusual for a female character to be presented this way - we don't judge her because of the way she looks in the flesh."
The actress was desperate to land a role in the film as soon as she heard it was being made.
She recalled: "As soon as I heard they were going to be making another 'Star Wars', I was like a dog with a bone.
"I was absolutely focused on being seen for it. I so, so wanted to be a part of it."
