The lovely and talented Zooey Deschanel is the latest to board David Gordon Green's upcoming comedy “Your Highness" for Universal.

Written by McBride and Ben Best, the film follows an arrogant prince (McBride) and his brother (Franco), who must show great courage and fulfill a perilous quest to secure the future of his dad’s kingdom.

The Hollywood Reporter says Deschanel will play Belladonna, Franco's virginal bride. Also starring is Natalie Portman, who slips into the role of a badass princess McBride falls in love with.

"Highness" is a project I'm definitely looking forward to. Green did a fab job with "Pineapple Express," and the cast for this one keeps getting better as well.

Deschanel will soon be see in "500 Days of Summer." She also recently starred in the so-so "Yes Man" and ultra-crappy "The Happening."
