Brainstorm Media has acquired Amy Landecker’s directorial debut “For Worse” out of SXSW, with a planned North American release for February.
The romantic comedy is about Landecker’s Lauren, who is “a newly divorced and sober mother who feels like she’s been handed a new lease on life when she joins her first acting class and embarks on a fling with her attractive, younger scene partner. When they attend their Gen Z classmate’s wedding together, a wild night causes things to unravel, and Lauren ends up acting like a drunk 25-year-old bridesmaid. By morning, she stumbles into a new day and a fresh beginning,” per the logline.
The movie also stars Bradley Whitford, Nico Hiraga, Missi Pyle, Gaby Hoffmann, Kiersey Clemons, Ken Marino, Claudia Sulewski, Simon Helberg and Liv Hewson.
“For Worse” was produced by Amy Landecker, Bradley Whitford, Valerie Stadler, Jenica Bergere and James Portolese, with executive producers Aurélia Fisher Cohen, Ben Cohen, Amanda Miller, Seth Schreier, Reesa Schreier, Edie Cohen, Michael Cohen, Linda Raschke and Rebecca Vlasic.
