We’re not sure we remember a time before every news story was a trailer, but they just keep on coming. The latest is for a sexy new comedy that features some recognisable funny people getting out of their depth in The Overnight.
Adam Scott and Orange Is The New Black’s Taylor Schilling are Alex and Emily, new arrivals to Los Angeles with young son R.J. (R.J. Hermes) in tow. At a park they chance upon Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) and Charlotte (Judith Godrèche), who are the parents of Max (Max Moritt). Kurt and Charlotte invite the newcomers over for a play date and pizza night, but once the kids are asleep, things start to take a turn for the odd. And the sexual…
At first, Alex and Emily aren’t sure what to make of it, but they give themselves over to the evening and it just gets weirder from there. Writer/director Patrick Brice’s film boasts that solid cast and a script that has been praised as one of the funniest of the year, winning plaudits at Sundance and SXSW, among other festivals. With Mark and Jay Duplass on hand to produce via their company, this looks like it could be fun.
**The Overnight **will be out in the US on June 19, but doesn’t yet have a confirmed UK date.
