Mike White’s comedy BRAD’S STATUS starring Ben Stiller has added Jenna Fischer, Michael Sheen, and Luke Wilson to the cast. Amazon has also boarded to co-finance with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment.
The film follows a successful family man obsessed with the better fortunes of his old school friends. While escorting his son on an East Coast tour of colleges, he is forced to confront his friends and his feelings of failure – with hilarious and poignant results.
Brad Pitt’s Plan B produces the film alongside Sidney Kimmel while Sierra/Affinity is overseeing international sales. They will present the project, which is currently filming, next month at AFM.
Sheen currently stars in Showtime’s period drama Masters of Sex opposite Lizzy Caplan. He can be seen later this year with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt in Passengers.
Wilson was most recently seen in Showtime’s Roadies from Cameron Crowe. Other recent credits include Meadowland and Netflix’s The Ridiculous 6.
Fischer is best known for her role on NBC’s The Office and earlier this year dropped out of CBS sitcom Man with a Plan with Matt LeBlanc. She starred in last year’s single camera comedy You, Me, and the Apocalypse and a guest starring role on Mysteries of Laura.
Sheen is repped by ICM and Sanders Armstrong Caserta Management.
Wilson is repped by CAA.
Fischer is repped by WME and Odenkirk-Provissiero Entertainment.
