Nicholas Stoller's upcoming comedy film is continuing to line up its star cast. Actor Billy Eichner is the latest to join the yet-to-be-titled film. He is set to star alongside previously announced cast members Will Ferrell, Zac Efron and Regina Hall.
According to the plotline, the film revoles around a young convict played by Efron who, after being released from prison, takes an unscripted TV courtroom hostage, believing that the judge (Ferrell) issued a ruling that ruined his life. While, Regina Hall’s role remains undisclosed for now, Eichner will play Bailiff to Ferrell’s judge.
Producers for the film, which was previously titled Judgement Day, are Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Alex Brown for Gloria Sanchez Productions and Stoller for Stoller Global Solutions. A release date for the project is yet to be announced.
Eichner recently finished shooting for the Ryan Murphy show The Beauty headlined by Evan Peters. He also starred in Ethan Coen's Drive Away Dolls and also reprised his role as Timon in Mufasa: The Lion King. Up next, he will once again be reuniting with Coen in the upcoming film Honey, Don't.
