Amy Adams, Paul Rudd, and Tessa Thompson To Star in The Comedy Film THE INVITE
Amy Adams, Paul Rudd, and Tessa Thompson are set to star in an upcoming comedy film titled The Invite. The film will be helmed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine) for FilmNation Entertainment and Permut Presentations.
The Invite tells the story of Joe (Rudd) and Angela (Adams), “who after 15 years of marriage, find that their relationship is in a rut. Desperate to have a conversation that isn’t focused on their marital woes, Angela invites their boisterous neighbors, Kayla (Thompson) and Shane, over for cocktails. Joe, irritated at having to engage with this disruptive couple, plans to use the occasion to confront them; however, both he and Angela get far more than they bargained for as sparks fly and they discover Shane and Kayla are hosting weekly orgies and have an invite of their own to offer.”
The movie has quite an impressive cast, and the project is based on Cesc Gay’s Goya-winning 2020 Spanish comedy Sentimental, which has already spawned remakes in Italy, Switzerland and elsewhere. This sounds like it will deliver some good laughs.
The script for this version of the film was written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, who co-wrote the romantic dramedy Celeste & Jesse Forever and Toy Story 4.
