(RTTNews) - Dennis Quaid has signed up to star in the film "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Quaid will star in the role of Ramsey, an aged man whose young wife (Brooklyn Decker) is pregnant with twins.

Lionsgate, which is producing the film, announced Quaid's involvement, adding:
". . . impending fatherhood is just another way for the hilariously competitive Ramsey to try to one-up his adult son Colin, who is also expecting his first child."
The film, adapted from Heidi Murkoff's pregnancy guide of the same name, will also star Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Chace Crawford and Rob Huebel.
"What to Expect When You're Expecting" is slated for a 2012 Mother's Day release.
Quaid is also starring in the forthcoming remake of the 1980s hit "Footloose."
