Jonah Hill to star in 'Arms and the Dudes'

'Wolf of the Wall Street' star Jonah Hill is all set to join the cast of Warner Bros crime comedy 'Arms and the Dudes', being directed by 'Hangover' fame Todd Phillips.

The role was earlier courted by both Shia LaBeouf and Jesse Eisenberg, said the Hollywood Reporter.

Dudes is based on Guy Lawson's Rolling Stone article, which follows two stoners from Miami Beach who ended up becoming arms dealers for the US government.

Phillips is producing with Bradley Cooper and Mark Gordon. Bryan Zuriff is executive producing.
