AceShowbiz - Drama comedy movie "The Runaround" has just added five stars to its cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Daly, Taran Killam, Hunter Parrish, Analeigh Tipton and Shannon Woodward will star in the movie, joining Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons.
The new additions join other previously-announced cast members such as Emile Hirsch ("Lone Survivor") and Kristen Schaal ("A Walk in the Woods"). Gavin Wiesen ("The Art of Getting By") is directing the movie which is currently filming in Los Angeles from a screenplay by Seth W. Owen.
Produced by Mandy Tagger-Brockey, Adi Ezroni, Ron Perlman, Josh Crook and P. Jennifer Danahe, the film centers on a workaholic father who is forced to team up with her daughter's ex-boyfriend (Hirsch) to find her after she disappears. While there is no official release date just yet, the film is expected to arrive in the U.S. in 2016.
"The hardest part of making this movie has been trying to keep a straight face with this incredible comedic talent. These actors are a force to be reckoned with and we feel lucky to have such a dream cast aboard," said Ezroni and Tagger-Brockey.
Daly will next be seen in "Masterminds". He previously appeared in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" alongside Ben Stiller. Killam is known for his work on "Saturday Night Live" and he also voice acts on Seth Meyers' animated comedy series, "The Awesomes".
Parrish was nominated for two SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance for his work on Showtime's series "Weeds". Tipton will appear in "Mississippi Grind", which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and will be released on September 25. As for Woodward, he will star on HBO's series "Westworld" with Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood and Ed Harris.
