The “2018 Universal R-Rated Comedy” has been announced as Leslie Man-starrer The Pact and will be released by Universal Pictures on the film’s previously-announced date: Friday, April 20, 2018.
Leslie Mann (The Other Woman, This Is 40), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad) and John Cena (Trainwreck, Sisters) star in The Pact, the directorial debut of Kay Cannon (writer of the Pitch Perfect series). When three parents discover their daughters’ pact to lose their virginity at prom, they launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens from sealing the deal.
The comedy will be produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver, under their Point Grey Pictures banner (Neighbors, This is the End), alongside Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg (Harold & Kumar series) and DMG Entertainment’s Chris Fenton (47 Ronin). Good Universe’s Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake (Don’t Breathe, Juno) executive produce with Chris Cowles (Collide) of DMG.
The Pact is written by brothers Brian & Jim Kehoe, Hurwitz & Schlossberg and Eben Russell.
