Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films) and Owen Wilson (“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” upcoming “Zoolander 2”) star in Alcon Entertainment’s comedy “Bastards,” under the direction of Lawrence Sher (“The Hangover” films). The film marks the directorial debut of the veteran cinematographer.
Helms and Wilson play Peter and Kyle Reynolds, two brothers whose eccentric mother (Glenn Close) raised them to believe their father had died when they were young. When they discover this to be a lie, they set out to find their real father, learning more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know.
Oscar nominee Glenn Close (“Albert Nobbs,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) stars as the twins’ mother, Helen, and Academy Award-Winner J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-actor Terry Bradshaw (“Failure to Launch”) join the cast as potential father figures.
Rounding out the cast are comedian Katt Williams, Oscar nominee June Squibb (“Nebraska”), Kate Aselton (TV’s “The League”), and Ving Rhames (the “Mission Impossible” films).
In theaters January 27th, 2017
