Lea Michele and Kate Upton Join William H. Macy's THE LAYOVER

Lea Michele ("Glee") and Kate Upton ("The Other Woman") have joined the road trip sex comedy "The Layover". William H. Macy is set to direct from a script by David Hornsby & Lance Krall ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"). Michele and Upton will star as a pair of lifelong best friends whose vacation plans are derailed when their plane gets rerouted due to a hurricane warning. Not only that, but they find themselves fighting over the same guy during an extended layover in St. Louis. Here's what Macy had to say about the casting decision:

"The minute I met Lea and Kate, the film began to focus for me. They are singular, ambitious funny women in full. This is going to be fun."

This is Macy's second directorial project, following last year's drama "Rudderless". "The Layover" will be produced by Patricia Cox and Jason Cloth. Lea Michele is currently working on Ryan Murphy's new series "Scream Queens".
