FILM: Rashida Jones from "The Office"


Rashida Jones has spun off from "The Office" to star in the TV show "Unhitched," but that's not all she's been up to since the strike. She just wrapped Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, which happens to be her former co-star John Krasinski's writing and directorial debut. Now she's filming the romantic comedy Chilled in Miami with Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.

But her first leading role will be the comedy I Love You, Man with Jason Segel and Paul Rudd as her co-stars. The story follows a guy who is newly engaged and in search of a Best Man. John Hamburg, a writer of many of Ben Stiller's films (Meet the Fockers, Zoolander), is at the helm. I just hope Hamburg's female dialogue content doesn't suck as much as it did in Along Came Polly. Jones really has a shot at hitting it big with the right material.
