Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Ant-Man Star Join Will Ferrell & Zac Efron Comedy Movie
Amazon MGM Studios has welcomed two more cast members to join its upcoming Will Ferrell and Zac Efron comedy movie. The untitled project will see Ferrell playing a TV judge, while Efron portrays a young ex-convict. This marks Efron’s latest project with Amazon MGM Studios after starring in last year’s Ricky Stanicky with John Cena.
“The story follows a young convict fresh out of prison who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage blaming the megalomaniac TV judge for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life,” reads the synopsis.
Who is joining the Will Ferrell & Zac Efron movie?
Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Baywatch, Citadel) and Michael Peña (Ant-Man) have been tapped to join the upcoming comedy, which will also star previously announced cast members Regina Hall (Scary Movie, Girls Trip) and Jimmy Tatro (American Vandal). Further details about their characters are still under wraps.
The untitled movie will be written and directed by Forgetting Sarah Marshall filmmaker Nicholas Stoller, who has already collaborated with Ferrell and Efron in the You’re Cordially Invited movie and Neighbors film franchise, respectively. It will also be produced by Stoller for Stoller Global Solutions and Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Alex Brown for Gloria Sanchez Productions.
Besides the Ferrell and Efron movie, Chopra Jonas has two more collaborations with Amazon MGM Studios. She is still set to reprise her role as Nadia Sinh in the upcoming next installment of the spy series Citadel. In addition, she will also star alongside Jack Quaid, Carla Gugino, and Idris Elba in the studio’s upcoming action thriller Heads of State. As for Peña, he was most recently seen in Jason Statham’s newest action movie A Working Man. He will next be seen in the sci-fi adventure drama Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die with Sam Rockwell and Juno Temple.
