Drew Barrymore Plays Duel Roles in Saban Films' Comedy THE STAND-IN
Saban Films has picked up the rights to a new comedy titled The Stand-In. The movie comes from director Jamie Babbit and it stars Drew Barrymore who will play duel roles. She stars in the film alongside Michael Zegen, Ellie Kemper, T.J. Miller, and Holland Taylor.
The story centers on “a disaffected comedy actress who is busted for tax evasion and her adoring, ambitious stand-in who she hires to do community service in her place. A co-dependent relationship ensues as the actress begins to use the stand-in in all parts of her life to escape from the stressful demands of fame. Eventually, the stand-in starts to take the actress’s identity, career and boyfriend and finally kicks her out of her own house.”
That sounds like a frustrating situation to be in! But, it seems like a couple of great roles for Barrymore to take on and I’m sure it will be a fun comedy to watch.
