Awkwafina and Ike Barinholtz Set to Produce and Star in Comedy CRIME AFTER CRIME

Movie Crime After Crime Ike Barinholtz Awkwafina CinemaCon about 5 years agoby Jessica Fisher

Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians, Ocean’s 8) and Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project, Blockers) have signed on to produce and star in the comedy Crime After Crime for STX Films. With a script from Dan Gurewitch (CollegeHumor, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver) and David Young (The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Carpool Karaoke).

The movie “is about a millennial podcast host who agrees to help the convict she’s devoted her true-crime podcast to prove his innocence after he escapes jail and turns up at her house.”

This sounds really funny and like a perfect match for Awkwafina and Barinholtz! Can you imagine if Steven Avery or Adnan Syed broke out of prison and turned up on the steps of their podcaster’s doors? I bet it would be less funny than this movie will be. Somethings are funnier when they aren’t happening in real life.

We will let you know when we get a release date. Does this sound like a movie that you’d enjoy?
