Principal photography is underway on New Line Cinema’s comedy “Horrible
Bosses,” starring Jason Bateman (“Couples Retreat”), Charlie Day (TV’s
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” upcoming “Going the Distance”),
Jason Sudeikis (TV’s “Saturday Night Live,” upcoming “Going the
Distance”), Jennifer Aniston (“He’s Just Not That Into You”), Colin
Farrell (“Crazy Heart”), Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx
(“Ray”), two-time Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey
(“American Beauty,” “The Usual Suspects”), Julie Bowen (TV’s “Modern
Family”) and veteran actor Donald Sutherland. The production is filming
in Los Angeles, under the direction of Seth Gordon.
For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind
more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into
dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many
drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends
devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of
their respective employers…permanently. There’s only one problem: even
the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
Bateman, Sudeikis and Day play the three hapless workers, while Spacey,
Farrell and Aniston are their unbearable bosses. Foxx appears as the
con, whose street cred is priced on a sliding scale.
Seth Gordon (“Four Christmases,” “The King of Kong: A Fistful of
Quarters”) directs “Horrible Bosses” from an original screenplay by
Michael Markowitz, with revisions by Jonathan
Goldstein & John
Francis Daley. Brett Ratner and Jay Stern are producing the film,
with Richard Brener, Michael Disco, Sam Brown and Diana Pokorny serving
as executive producers. John Cheng, John Rickard and Mary Rohlich are
co-producers.
Slated for a Summer 2011 release, New Line Cinema’s “Horrible Bosses,” a
Rat Entertainment Production, will be distributed by Warner Bros.
Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
