Roadside Attractions

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Charlie Day, currently in cinemas voicing Luigi in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” makes his directorial debut on the satirical comedy “Fool’s Paradise” which has released its first trailer today.

In one of his final performances, the late Ray Liotta stars as a down-on-his-luck publicist who gets his lucky break when he discovers a man recently released from a mental health facility looks identical to a method actor who refuses to leave his trailer.

With the help of a powerful producer, the publicist helps the man become a huge star, even marrying his beautiful leading lady.

Their adventures lead them to cross paths with drunken costars, irreverent unhoused action heroes, unpredictable directors, super agent, and power-mad moguls.

Fame and fortune are not all they’re cracked up to be, and the two men must fight their way back to the things that matter the most.

Day also penned the film which co-stars the impressive cast of Ken Jeong, Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, Jason Bateman, Common, Jillian Bell, Dean Norris, Jimmi Simpson, and John Malkovich.

John Rickard, Tim Zajaros, Alex Saks, Rick Dugdale and Christopher Lemole produce. The film opens in cinemas on May 12th.
