No, we're not talking about Alison Brie or Gillian Jacobs -- although wouldn't that be grand -- but the series' douchebag-turned-not-such-a-douchebag Joel McHale . McHale takes a giant step away from his comedic roots to play a cop in the Scott Derrickson directed paranormal thriller Beware the Night. Derrickson, hot off his success with Sinister , has amassed quite a cast too including Eric Bana , Olivia Munn , Sean Harris and Edgar Ramirez . What's it about you ask? A New York cop (Bana) who has put his faith behind him finds himself target by the Devil . McHale plays his partner and Munn stars and Bana's wife. Sinister was great, and I dug Derrickson's premiere effort The Exorcism of Emily Rose too. Here's hoping he gets a hat trick with Beware the Night. King of Boom Jerry Bruckheimer produces. And I should point out that McHale is effing funny on Community. Source: The Hollywood Reporter Related articles T.J. Miller Joins TRANSFORME...
