Jennifer Garner to Star In and Produce Netflix Comedy ONE ATTEMPT REMAINING
Actress Jennifer Garner is adding to her Netflix slate with a new comedy feature titled One Attempt Remaining, from director Kay Cannon (Blockers), in which Garner will star in and produce.
The film follows an ex-couple who, years after their acrimonious divorce, learn that the cryptocurrency they won on a crazy night on a cruise is now worth millions… but they’ve forgotten the password.
With only three days left before the account expires, they must retrace their steps that night, not just to find the password to their fortune, but also why they fell in love in the first place.
Written by Joe Boothe, Alexa Alemanni and Cannon, the film originated as a spec from longtime collaborators Boothe and Alemanni, marking the third original feature they’ve set up this year, with projects already at Sony and Black Label. Sources said 21 Laps and Linden Productions developed the project and brought it to Cannon to direct.
Shawn Levy and Dan Levine will produce for 21 Laps, alongside Nicole King for Linden Productions, and Garner. Exec producers include Cannon, 21 Laps’ Becca Edelman, Deanna Barillari, and Bergen Swanson.
Garner’s previous Netflix family comedies include Family Switch, and Yes Day. The actress is coming off of success with The Last Thing He Told Me, Apple’s hit series adaptation of the New York Times bestseller by Laura Dave.
She exec produces and stars in the series, which will soon expand with a second season after launching as a limited series. She’ll next be seen starring in the Peacock series The Five-Star Weekend, on which she’s an EP.
