Dakota Johnson Falls For High School 'Gay Dude'

Dakota Johnson has signed on to bring a woman's (and probably heterosexual) touch to the new romantic comedy, "Gay Dude," according to Variety.

"Gay Dude" follows the misadventures of two high school seniors who vow to lose their virginity before prom, a quest that becomes more surprising and convoluted when one of them comes out of the closet.

Oh, these wacky high-concept rom coms --finding love (and getting laid) is just never easy, is it?

Johnson's role is currently unknown but it might be safe to assume that her character is targeted for possibly assisting one of the boys in fulfilling his goal. She joins a cast that includes Nicholas Braun ("Red State," "Prom"), newcomer Hunter Cope and Dreama Walker ("Gossip Girl").

Chris Nelson of "HBO Voyeur Project" is set to direct with a script by Alan Yang ("Parks and Recreation").

Dakota Johnson is currently best known for her role as Justin Timberlake's Stanford conquest in "The Social Network" ("I slept with Sean Parker?"). She's since appeared in "Beastly" and will be seen in "21 Jump Street," opening March 16, 2012.

"Gay Dude" is currently filming and will be released sometime in 2012.
