Alan Ritchson (Reacher) and Kevin James (Grown Ups) are set to star alongside one another in a brand new action-comedy titled Playdate.
The movie follows “a down-on-his-luck man, Brian (James), who was simply fired from his job and turns into an sudden stay-at-home dad to his 10-year-old son. On his first day, he accepts a playdate invitation from Jeff (Ritchson), one other stay-at-home dad, who seems to be an sudden unfastened cannon. The 2 fathers and their sons spend the day on the run, going through a lethal conspiracy.”
It looks as if this will probably be a enjoyable flick for Ritchson and James to staff up on. The film is being directed by Luke Greenfield (The Lady Subsequent Door) from a script written by Neil Goldman (Shrinking).
The director shared: “Midnight Run has all the time been considered one of my favourite movies and this can be a nice alternative to achieve for that magic. Neil has written an action-comedy that’s all about grounded, relatable characters and their relationships, and that’s the kind of movie we’re all dying to see once more. And this duo of Alan & Kevin goes to seize that magic. This movie got here collectively so completely due to Mark, Jeffrey and Dan, and that’s a phenomenal, uncommon factor nowadays.”
Producer Mark Fasano stated in an announcement: “I couldn’t be extra excited to see such an unimaginable staff come collectively for Playdate. Alan and Kevin are such an ideal duo and their chemistry in such a short while is one thing you may solely hope for. Luke has proved time and time once more to ship high-concept comedies which can be grounded but relatable. I can’t keep in mind the final time we had such an ideal, laugh-out-loud comedy, and I do know Playdate will ship.”
Producer Jeffrey Greenstein added: “Playdate has all the pieces audiences crave- a witty script, a passionate and good director, and our gifted forged. Discovering the appropriate actor for the appropriate position is essential to the DNA of any challenge and on this case, Alan and Kevin are so creatively excellent – individually and collectively – that they’ll deliver life to the characters in enjoyable methods.”
