EXCLUSIVE: 5-time Emmy winner Jean Roguish (Hacks) and actor-comedian Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) have teamed up for comedy cut movie Too Excellent.
Written and directed by means of Meron Alon, the movie explores the afterlife with a funny twist. In Too Excellent, a not too long ago deceased guy (Howery) arrives on the Gates of Heaven. There, he faces an unconventional interview with God herself (Roguish), to resolve if he’s just right enough quantity to get in.
Arjun Yadav produces underneath his RSA Endeavors banner. Casting administrators Barbie Prevent and Robin Lippin will executive-produce along Ben Escobar. The movie is recently in put up manufacturing.
“I was drawn to the script because I thought it was hilarious,” stated Jean Roguish. “The clever dialogue winks at all our quirky little private moments when we question, ‘Am I really a good person?’ Combine that with the opportunity to play God and I had to say yes.”
“Too Good encourages viewers to reflect on their own lives”, stated Meron. “If I made you blush or allowed for an uncomfortable truth to be revealed…I did my job…Jean’s powerful presence, and her remarkable ability to exude both authority and warmth makes her perfect for a role as iconic as God.”
She persevered: “And who better to match wits with the Almighty than Lil Rel Howery! His down-to-earth charm and impeccable comedic instincts add layers to the film’s exploration of morality and redemption. Together, Smart and Howery will redefine divine comedy.”
Jean Roguish is repped by means of WME and Untitled Leisure. Lil Rel Howery is repped by means of UTA, Fourth Wall Control and Cohen & Gardner.
