Dax Shepard tells Sci Fi Wire that he will play an astronaut in Columbia Pictures' Zathura, to be directed by Jon Favreau. "I'll be the only adult in it besides Tim Robbins," Shepard said.
He joins Josh Hutcherson (The Polar Express) and Jonah Bobo (Strangers With Candy) who play the two young brothers in the film. Robbins is playing the boys' father.
The adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's children's book follows two young brothers who are drawn into an intergalactic adventure when their house is magically hurtled through space. The movie will film this summer in Los Angeles and is slated for release next year.

I agree. I don't really like him that much. I'm not so sure about his acting. I haven't seen 'Without a Paddle' yet. I saw most of the episodes from 'Punk'd'. Hmmm ... we'll see.
