DeWitt and Johnson are "Digging for Fire"

For this project, Johnson is part of an impressive ensemble of actors including Rosemarie DeWitt, Sam Rockwell, Chris Messina, Anna Kendrick and Orlando Bloom. Joe Swanberg, who directed Johnson in 2013's "Drinking Buddies," is also at the helm of this movie as well as Johnson's co-writer. "Digging For Fire" is now open in limited release in theaters and available on VOD.

TV viewers know him as "Nick," on the Fox sitcom "New Girl" and earlier this summer he was one of the stars of the blockbuster movie "Jurassic World."  Now, Jake Johnson is both co-star and co-writer of the independent feature "Digging For Fire," a backyard mystery that sets the stage for this grown-up look at the stresses of modern day marriage and parenthood.
