Nick Offerman joins Diablo Cody’s Lamb of God

Ron Swanson himself, Nick Offerman, is set to star in screenwriter Diablo Cody’s directorial debut Lamb of God, Deadline reports.

There are no details on his role at this time, but we presume he will play someone manly.

Julianne Hough (Footloose) stars as an evangelical young woman who loses her faith after a plane crash, and heads to Las Vegas to embrace decadence. Russell Brand has been cast as a bartender recovering from addiction, whom Hough’s character befriends in Vegas.

The Help‘s Octavia Spencer also features in the film.

Cody won an Oscar for writing the screenplay for Juno. She most recently penned Young Adult for Jason Reitman.
