LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Josh Duhamel and Jon Heder have joined the cast of "When in Rome," a romantic comedy starring Kristen Bell.

Anjelica Huston and Dax Shepard also are making the trip to "Rome." Mark Steven Johnson is directing for Disney.

Bell ("Veronica Mars") plays a love-starved New York curator who steals magical coins from the Trevi Fountain in Rome but soon finds herself in a bizarre situation when she is pursued back to New York by a band of aggressive suitors whose coins she took.

Duhamel (NBC's "Las Vegas") is the romantic lead. Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite") will play a street magician and one of Bell's suitors. Shepard ("The Comebacks") will play an aspiring model. Huston, coming off a stint on NBC's "Medium," will play Bell's boss, the curator of the Guggenheim.

The movie is scheduled to begin shooting in April.
