Netflix announced it has greenlit Naked, a new romantic comedy that will star Marlon Wayans (White Chicks, Scary Movie) and Regina Hall (Think Like A Man, About Last Night). Based on the Swedish film Naken, the romantic comedy reunites Wayans with director Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House, Fifty Shades of Black). It is written by Cory Koller, Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvare.
“The response I’ve gotten from fans worldwide to my films on Netflix has been overwhelming,” says Wayans, “and I’m thrilled to be working with them on an original film. Also, I’m excited to be working with Regina again.”
Wayans and Hall previously starred together in the first two entries in the Scary Movie franchise.
In Naked, Wayans stars as Rob Anderson, a charming man-child, who wakes up on his wedding day, naked in an elevator, reliving the hour before the ceremony over and over again.
Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez (White Chicks, Marlon), Todd Garner (The True Memoirs of an International Assassin) and Ryan Lewis (Chosen) will serve as producers on Naked with Sean Robins, Michael Flynn and Paul Hanson serving as executive producers.
Naked is slated to go into production in Charleston, South Carolina in October with plans for the film to premiere globally on Netflix in 2017.
