Emily Blunt joins Brand's 'Greek'

Emily Blunt has been cast opposite Russell Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin-off Get Him To The Greek.

The Young Victoria actress will portray a pop singer who is lined up to duet with Brand's rock star character.

Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald about the project, Brand said: "I play Aldous Snow again, but Aldous Snow back on drugs.

"It's a two-hander with Jonah Hill. Jonah's character has to get Aldous from London to Los Angeles to perform a gig. Aldous is a crazed drug addict and a handful."

Blunt recently signed up to star in Fox's Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black.
