Julia Stiles has signed up to the cast of the apocalyptic romantic comedy It's a Disaster.

The film follows four couples who are stuck at home after Sunday lunch waiting for the world to end, according to Coming Soon.

Dexter star Stiles will be joining 's America Ferrara, Jeff Grace, Blaise Miller, Kevin M. Brennan and Todd Berger for the project.

Berger will also be directing the film from his own script.

The helmer said: "It's a crazy story and I was convinced Julia and America would think I'm crazy too, but I'm thrilled they get my sense of humour. I'm excited to have them on board."

Stiles will next be seen in Neil LaBute's Seconds of Pleasure and the adaptation of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

She recently admitted that she would "love to" reprise her role in The Bourne Legacy, but said that it is unlikely that there is a part for her in the new film.
