IFC Films Has Acquired Rights to Comedy LAST CALL Starring Bruce Dern, Jeremy Piven and Taryn Manning

IFC Films has picked up the rights to the comedy Last Call, a film directed, produced and co-written by Paolo Pilladi. The film stars acting legend Bruce Dern (Coming Home, Nebraska, The Hateful Eight), Jeremy Piven (Grosse Pointe Blank, Entourage), and Taryn Manning (Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the New Black), as well as comedian Jamie Kennedy, Raging Bull Oscar nominee Cathy Moriarty, Jack McGee (Moneyball, The Fighter), Zach McGowan (The 100), and Cheri Oteri (SNL).

Here’s the synopsis via Deadline:

Pic follows Mick, played by Jeremy Piven, who is a local success story and real estate developer. He returns home to his offbeat blue collar Irish neighborhood in the shadows of Philadelphia for a funeral and is obligated to stay to ensure his parents’ ailing family business gets back on course. Amidst all of this, he grows closer to his childhood crush (Taryn Manning) who is also back in town, while enduring the constant ridicule from his old hometown crew. As Mick begins to reconnect with the neighborhood he grew up in, he finds himself at a crossroads when forced to either raze or resurrect the family bar.

Pilladi made a statement about the deal, saying, “IFC is the ideal home for this film. We’re thrilled to share this comedic peek into an eclectic neighborhood undergoing painful gentrification, which was brought alive by our legendary ensemble.”

This sounds like it could be a good story, and it certainly has a good cast rounding it out. Last Call is currently set for a March 19th release date.
