Judy Greer, Sean Astin, Bryan Cranston and John Goodman have joined hands to star in the upcoming film Chili Finger. The dark comedy film is directed by debutants Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad. Apart from acting in the film, which will have a script by Helstad, Goodman also serves as an executive producer on the film.
Chili Finger revolves around a recently empty-nested mother, played by Greer, known for her work in 13 Going On 30 and The Last Thing He Told Me, who discovers a human finger in her bowl of fast-food chili. When she blackmails the restaurant for a cash payout, the situation spirals out of control and her life descends into chaos.
Character details of Astin (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Goodman (The Flintstones) are being kept under wraps. The supporting cast of the film also includes Sarah Herrman and Paul Stanko.
The film, set to begin production next spring, is backed by Beyond the Porch and Gold Tree Studios. Sam Sandweiss (Darkwell Entertainment), Tim Chonacas (Gold Tree Studios), and Jo Henriquez are attached as producers.
