Participant Media has landed Ben Stiller to direct the dramedy “Help Me Spread Goodness.” According to Variety, “Goodness” is about a Chicago banker who gets caught up in a Nigerian Internet scam. The script was written by Mark Friedman. Red Hour partners Stuart Kornfeld and Jeremy Kramer will produce with Stiller.The film, following Participant Media’s mandate to produce films that inspire social change, will focus on current issues in Nigeria and other African countries.

The timetable for when Stiller begins work on the film hinges on the completion of the Aaron Sorkin-written drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which Stiller took over directing duties for after Steven Spielberg left the project.

Stiller recently directed “Tropic Thunder” and stars in the Shawn Levy-directed “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” which opens on May 22. Stiller will also star in the Paul Weitz-directed “Little Fockers” for Universal.
