Even though the screenplay for Scot Armstrong’s upcoming film Search Party – originally written by Mike Gagerman and Andrew Waller – was on the 2010 Blacklist, it still got a rewrite by first-time director Armstrong himself (whose most recent credits include The Hangover Part II and Road Trip 2: Beer Pong). Nothing would be better than for this film to be the complete opposite of derivative, but that might be asking too much.

At least the cast should be able to help. Search Party has added Shannon Woodward as a female lead, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Woodward is probably most famous for her role as Jimmy’s romantic interest on Fox’s Raising Hope, though she was also in the FX series The Riches a few years ago. As far as features go, she’ll next be seen starring with John Cusack and Emma Roberts in Scott Coffey’s Adult World, as well as the comedian-filled Claire’s Cambodia, the directorial debut from One For the Money screenwriter Stacy Sherman.

In Search Party she joins comedian TJ Miller (Cloverfield) and Adam Pally (Happy Endings) in a road trip comedy that takes the two guys on a wild and danger-filled mission to rescue their friend Nardo (Thomas Middleditch) – who has somehow ended up naked and stranded in Mexico. You know a film is good if it promises male nudity right there in the premise. Woodward will be playing Nardo’s girlfriend, who also manages to find herself in Mexico.

Search Party will begin shooting this week in Baton Rouge, which means that it will probably be in theaters some time next year. And if you can’t find it then, feel free to send out a…what do you call it…a lookie group.

FOX has also picked up comedy series NEW GIRL, THE MINDY PROJECT and RAISING HOPE for the 2013-14 season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. NEW GIRL was picked up for a third season, THE MINDY PROJECT received a second season order and RAISING HOPE was renewed for a fourth season.

“We love working with these talented producers and casts who, week after week, create some of the funniest work on television,” said Reilly. “These shows are creatively vibrant, they have established a loyal and passionate audience and they will continue to define and grow the FOX comedy brand next season and beyond.”

The hour-long season finale of back-to-back RAISING HOPE episodes, “Burt-Mitzvah/Mom’s Day”, airs on a special night and time, Thursday, March 28 (9:00-9:30/9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) after AMERICAN IDOL (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). In “Burt-Mitzvah,” Burt’s (Garret Dillahunt) parents (guest stars Shirley Jones and Lee Majors) come to town with the surprising news that their son actually is Jewish. So Burt takes a musical crash course in his newfound heritage, to prepare for the Bar Mitzvah he never had. Then, in “Mom’s Day,” it’s a Mother’s Day to remember as Burt and Barney (Gregg Binkley) take a road trip to Maw Maw’s (Cloris Leachman) childhood home and discover that her mother may still be alive. Needless to say, multiple generations of crazy gather under one roof.

Created by Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia, RAISING HOPE follows the Chance family as the unplanned addition to their family becomes a toddler. The show stars Lucas Neff, Emmy Award winner Martha Plimpton, Garret Dillahunt, Shannon Woodward, Emmy Award winner Cloris Leachman and Gregg Binkley.
