Nicholas Stoller’s upcoming courtroom comedy film starring Will Ferrell has added Bobby Cannavale and Fortune Feimster to the cast. They will be joining previously announced cast members Priyanka Chopra, Zac Efron, Michael Peña, Jimmy Tatro, Billy Eichner, and Regina Hall in the Amazon MGM Studios-backed film.
The film, which was earlier titled Judgement Day, focuses on a young convict (Zac) who gets out of prison and takes an unscripted TV courtroom hostage, as he is convinced that the judge (Will) delivered a ruling that destroyed his life.
Details regarding the characters that Cannavale and Feimster will be playing are undisclosed. The upcoming comedy marks Ferrell’s reunion with Stoller after Amazon MGM’s You’re Cordially Invited. Feimster was also a part of the film and will be reuniting with Ferrell and Stoller in the upcoming comedy.
The comedy is produced by Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Alex Brown for Gloria Sanchez Productions and Nicholas under the banner Stoller Global Solutions.
Last seen in Unstoppable, Cannavale has Blue Moon and Trap House in various stages of production. He is also working on the upcoming series, Scarpetta. Feimster was recently seen in You’re Cordially Invited. Coming up, she has voice roles in Zootopia 2, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie and StuGo.
