Wed 23 May 2:20 PM

Hollywood funnyman Cedric the Entertainer has joined Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie and Chris Evans on the set of Night Watch.

Reeves plays a member of an elite group of LAPD cops who, after his wife's death, turns to the bottle and questions his actions when he meets a streetwise informant in the shape of Cedric (pic).

Cedric told BlackFilm.com: "David Ayer is directing it. I play an informant named Scribbles. There are all these corrupt cops and they getting information from this modern day "Huggy Bear", but it's not comedic. I'm a street guy and I'm on some drugs a little bit. The director said that this would be a great serious role for me.”

The movie goes into production this summer with a view to a 2008 release.
