Directed by Lawrence Sher, who served as cinematographer on Todd Phillips’ The Hangover franchise, the Alcon Entertainment comedy follows Helms and Wilson as Peter and Kyle Reynolds, two brothers whose eccentric mother (Glenn Close) raised them to believe their father had died when they were young. When they discover this to be a lie, they set out to find their real father, learning more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know.
Academy Award nominee Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs, Guardians of the Galaxy) stars as the twins’ mother, Helen, and fellow Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, Kung Fu Panda 3), and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-actor Terry Bradshaw (Failure to Launch) join the Bastards cast as potential father figures. Rounding out the cast are comedian Katt Williams, Oscar nominee June Squibb (Nebraska), Kate Aselton (The League), and Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible).
Sher directs from a screenplay by Justin Malen (Bad Teacher 2). Academy Award nominees Broderick Johnson and Andrew A. Kosove (The Blindside) are producing, along with, from the Montecito Picture Company, Academy Award nominee Ivan Reitman, (Up in the Air), Tom Pollock (Draft Day), and Ali Bell (Draft Day). Chris Fenton and Chris Cowles are executive producing.
Bastards will hit the big screen January 27, 2017.
