Levy has had a busy year. He released the family dramedy This Is Where I Leave You in September and has Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb due out in December. In addition, he produced Disney’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Of the three men competing for the lead, only Stevens has worked with Levy before, on Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. He also received strong notices earlier this year for his starring turn in The Guest. Peters currently stars on American Horror Story: Freak Show and had a scene-stealing supporting role in X-Men: Days of Future Past. And Hemsworth will next be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1.
