<p>Word came down last Thursday and was sealed yesterday that T.J. Miller has been offered the role of Ranger Jones in the live-action/animated Yogi Bear movie. Miller will co-star with Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake, and Dan Aykroyd, who will voice Yogi the Bear. The movie will be directed by Eric Brevig ("Journey to the Center of the Earth").</p>

<p>Miller's tongue-in-cheek "audition reel" for the film went out onto the Interwebs a few weeks ago and was just as quickly taken down: The reel showed Miller improvising with a live bear, feeding the animal marshmallows and lines (literally!).</p>

<p>After being called in to audition twice, Miller, along with filmmaker Jordan Vogt-Roberts, decided to make the audition reel, sort of as a joke. The reel made it all the way to Barry M. Meyer, chairman of Warner Bros. Miller was offered the role shortly thereafter.</p>

<p>"I'm excited about this role because they saw the reel and appreciated what a bizarre dude I am," Miller told The Apiary. He will leave for New Zealand on Friday to begin shooting.</p>

<p>Didn't see the audition reel when it was up for .00002 seconds a couple weeks back? Here it is again:</p>
