In Fool’s Paradise, a down on his luck publicist gets his lucky break when he discovers a man recently released from a mental health facility looks just like 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 co-stars, 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.
Produced by John Rickard, Christopher Lemole, Tim Zajaros, Alex Saks, Fool’s Paradise is written and directed by Charlie Day. The satirical comedy about stars Charlie Day, Ken Jeong, Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Ray Liotta, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, John Malkovich, Common, and Jillian Bell.
Roadside Attractions will release Fool’s Paradise in cinemas this May 2023. Check out the trailer below.
