Brie Larson joins Michael Angarano in new comedy

Brie Larson headed to CBS to star in Nick Stoller's pilot



While I did not love United States of Tara as a whole, I did love Brie Larson in United States of Tara. Now the Showtime series has ended its three-season run, Larson is looking for more steady work. In the last few months, the actress did appear on a couple of episodes of The League as Ruxin’s au pair, which anyone who watches The League knows is hardly steady work, as females tend to breeze through the show as soon as their allotted two-joke run is over. Luckily, it seems Larson has now nabbed a gig that may be far more worth her while.

Larson is set to play in The Muppets director Nick Stoller’s upcoming comedy pilot. The currently untitled project was the first comedy greenlighted by CBS this season, and as such has had some time to get its shit together, hiring Michael Angarano to play the lead, a man named Jake who gets dumped by his girlfriend but then must work alongside her.

As a woman who has seen her history teacher friend divorce the art teacher in the same school building, I know how awkward the concept can get. However, Stoller has upped the awkward ante tenfold with his pilot, based on his own experience. According to Deadline, Larson is set to play Laura, an ad agency employee who literally works one cubicle over from ex-boyfriend, Jake. Love may not be in the cards for Jake and Laura, but I’m sensing a series order may be.

Just started the 2nd season of United States of Tara. Such a great show.
asmallwonder 23rd-Feb-2012 06:47 am (UTC)
season 2 was my favorite--really enjoyed viola's role. the 3rd season has good moments (i overall liked the ending) but hated marshall's storyline which was disappointing
onyxobsidian 23rd-Feb-2012 06:48 am (UTC)
Aww that's too bad. Marshall (I think I called him Mitchell in a comment below) is one of the big reasons I watch the show.
wyntersummer 23rd-Feb-2012 03:52 pm (UTC)
It really is! Im so sad that they cancelled it.

She should record a followup to [i]Finally Out of P.E.[/i], that album was my Freshman year anthem album. Her and Skye Sweetnam.

browniecakemix 23rd-Feb-2012 06:37 am (UTC)

She did music? Huh. Learn something new every day, I do.
fight4thislove 23rd-Feb-2012 06:38 am (UTC)
yup. She opened for Jesse McCartney on his Beautiful Soul tour. I met her and she was such a sweetheart lol
evett 23rd-Feb-2012 06:45 am (UTC)

For some reason, I still remember her from Raising Dad
isntdaveone 23rd-Feb-2012 06:38 am (UTC)
what CBS shows are getting cancelled to make room for all these pilots??
fight4thislove 23rd-Feb-2012 06:38 am (UTC)
hopefully Two and a Half Men

*prays*
blackwidow 23rd-Feb-2012 07:14 am (UTC)
'Unforgettable', 'CSI: NY', 'A Gifted Man', 'Rob', and 'Rules of Engagement' are most likely going to get canceled or end up being midseason replacement for 2012/2013 TV season.
swissbeauty23 23rd-Feb-2012 06:41 am (UTC)
Aw, I always liked her music.
chuk_is_dazzled 23rd-Feb-2012 06:41 am (UTC)
i still wish they didnt cancel United States of Tara
kidviciousdonna 23rd-Feb-2012 06:43 am (UTC)
I didn't realize they had, I loved it
asmallwonder 23rd-Feb-2012 06:49 am (UTC)
i'm on the fence. i just finished the last episodes and maybe going in knowing for sure that was the end changed my view on things, but i'm ok with the ending. i feel like i have at least some idea of where the characters are headed and i'm not sure how they would have handled another season (tara in boston? fast forward past the treatment?)
evett 23rd-Feb-2012 07:00 am (UTC)
I like USoT way more than Nurse Jackie (they should have canceled that instead). Even though it annoyed me that Tara started to communicate with her alters, I still would have watched another season.
blackwidow 23rd-Feb-2012 07:16 am (UTC)
Same here. I feel like the only reason they canceled United States of Tara, and kept Nurse Jackie is because of Edie Falco. She's somewhat of a bigger name than Toni Collette sadly.
lillylilacs 23rd-Feb-2012 07:39 am (UTC)
I kind of agree because I really enjoyed USOT, but I think it ended perfectly tbh - especially since they didn't know they were getting canceled.
chihaya19 23rd-Feb-2012 06:44 am (UTC)
ugh did y'all see that awful trailer with her and mch? ughhhhhhhhhh
chihaya19 23rd-Feb-2012 06:47 am (UTC)
this one


asmallwonder 23rd-Feb-2012 06:51 am (UTC)
i'm sorry i can't even watch this

the trouble with bliss? sounds like a terrible short story
blackwidow 23rd-Feb-2012 07:18 am (UTC)
This looks so bad, but it's one of those movies I would totally watch when I'm drunk.
harrypotterlvr3 23rd-Feb-2012 08:04 am (UTC)
lmao what the fuck is this
chantonii 23rd-Feb-2012 11:50 am (UTC)
Yick.

And wouldn't he know what his friend's daughter looked like?
peenpoop 23rd-Feb-2012 06:44 am (UTC)
Hmmmm... I guessed CBS wants to be cool and hip like Fox and NBC
onyxobsidian 23rd-Feb-2012 06:47 am (UTC)
Tara's personalities really stress me out in United States of Tara but I love watching for Mitchell

asmallwonder 23rd-Feb-2012 07:02 am (UTC)
yeah i'm reserving any excitement for this after looking forward to 2 broke girls and being severely disappointed
fight4thislove 23rd-Feb-2012 07:05 am (UTC)
awww i love 2 broke girls.
almondcroissant 23rd-Feb-2012 07:11 am (UTC)
