Michael Shannon, Kate Hudson, Don Johnson and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are to star in director Michael Maren’s comedy Shriver, with Jimmi Simpson, Zach Braff, Mark Boone, Jr. and Aja Naomi King rounding out the cast.
Fortitude is launching sales this week at virtual Cannes and CAA reps domestic.
In the film, a small college, desperate to make a splash in the literary world, thinks they have found Shriver, a famous writer who has been in hiding for 20 years. Unfortunately, the person they have located is a different Shriver, a down-on-his-luck handyman who has never read a book in his life and has trouble telling the difference between his imagination and reality. With nothing to lose, this Shriver accepts the invitation to attend the college’s literary festival. There he finds himself surrounded by adoring fans, an eccentric group of writers and wannabe writers and meets a professor of English who captures his heart.
