Drew Barrymore Plays Her Own Double in Fun Trailer for THE STAND IN
We’ve got a fun new trailer for you to check out for the movie The Stand In, starring Drew Barrymore, and, well, Drew Barrymore. In the film, Barrymore stars as a washed up actress as well as her look-alike double that stands in for her in her films when a close up or lines aren’t needed for a shot. She’s joined in the dual roles by Michael Zegen, Ellie Kemper, T.J. Miller, and Emmy-Award winner Holland Taylor.
The script was written by Peep Show and Fresh Meat creator Sam Bain and directed by Jamie Babbit, who has directed several comedy series like Gilmore Girls, Silicon Valley, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
The film’s plot “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.”
This looks like a fun and goofy comedy, and I am excited to see it. Check out the film’s trailer and poster below, and stand by for a release date, coming soon.
