Emilio Diez Barroso and Darlene Caamano Loquet of NALA Films announced that they are teaming up with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Kevin Messick and Jessica Elbaum of Gary Sanchez Productions to produce the Spanish-language comedy, CASA DE MI PADRE (HOUSE OF MY FATHER), starring Will Ferrell. NALA Films is fully financing the project which is set to start shooting this September in California.
Will Ferrell's participation in the project is not entirely based on his connection with the material. Rather, he was embroiled in a pending lawsuit against Gary Sanchez. Ferrell's participation is part of a closed-door settlement between both parties. Further details were not disclosed.
Gary Sanchez issued the following statement regarding the resolution with Ferrell, “What comes around, goes around, Will Ferrell.”
According to producer Darlene Caamano Loquet, “NALA can’t comment regarding the circumstances surrounding why Will is attached to the project. We are just thrilled he is on board and are moving full steam ahead since we have one month to teach him Spanish.”
Uma Thurman will star in "Ceremony," a Max Winkler-directed comedy produced and financed by Nala Films.
Michael Angarano is set to play a young man who falls for an older woman (Thurman) who is about to get married. Nala Films' Darlene Caamano Loquet and Emilio Diez Barroso will produce along with Polly Cohen Johnsen and Matt Spicer. Jason Reitman and Dan Dubiecki will be executive producers.
Winkler wrote the script. He most recently co-wrote, with Jonah Hill and Spicer, the Universal comedy "The Adventurer's Handbook." Production on "Ceremony" begins Oct. 21 on Long Island.
Nala most recently wrapped Julianne Moore-Jonathan Rhys Meyers starrer "Shelter." The supernatural thriller was directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein.
Thurman just finished playing the role of Medusa in "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief."
