HOW BAD WAS THE COMMUNITY/CHEVY CHASE EXPERIENCE? #insideofyou #joelmchale
He comes to the project after starring opposite Guillén in The Internship, the 2013 20th Century Fox comedy headlined by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Set to go into production in December, That Friend centers on Paul (Guillén), that one friend we all have whose invite for “one drink” seems innocent enough, but before you know it, you’re drunk on a Tuesday, wobbling around your kitchen, eating dry ramen out of a bag and wishing you hadn’t sent that text. Brener’s character Henry is just trying to have a romantic weekend in Palm Springs with his new girlfriend Penny until Paul interrupts their trip. And when Paul’s pack of drug-laced cigarettes disappears into a stranger’s hands, the evening really takes a turn for the worse.
Ryan Tillotson and LA-based Straw Hut Media will produce the pic with Guillén.
