LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. actor John Cusack is set to star in and produce the big-screen comedy, "Hot Tub Time Machine," The Hollywood Reporter said.

Comedian Rob Corddry is co-starring in the movie, which is to be directed by Steve Pink in Vancouver, British Columbia, starting in April.

The movie is about a group of longtime friends who miss the good old days and end up being transported back to 1987 by a hot tub that turns out to be a time machine, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.

Cusack's film credits include "Say Anything," "Grosse Pointe Blank," "Con Air," "High Fidelity" and "America's Sweethearts."

Corddry has appeared in the films "W." and "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay."
