Zac Efron and Will Ferrell Set to Star in New Comedy From Amazon MGM Studios
Amazon MGM Studios moving forward with another Will Ferrell comedy, after the release of the film You’re Cordially Invited, and Zac Efron is set to star alongside him.
The new movie follows “a young convict (Efron) fresh out of prison who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage blaming the megalomaniac TV judge (Ferrell) for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life.”
You’re Cordially Invited director Nicholas Stoller will helm the film from his own script. The film reunites Efron with Amazon MGM following his role in Ricky Stanicky, which was released on Prime Video last year.
Efron recently wrapped production on Famous, which is a provocative Los Angeles-set thriller that explores the dark side of celebrity.
In Famous, Efron plays both an overzealous fan, Lance Dunkquist, and a Hollywood heartthrob, James Jansen. The film is based on the novel by bestselling author Blake Crouch and is adapted for the screen by Chad Hodge.
