Back in February it was announced that Seth Rogen (The Disaster Artist) and Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road) had signed on to star in Flarsky, the new film from 50/50 and The Night Before director Jonathan Levine, and now we have word on two more additions to the cast.
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies) and Randall Park (The Disaster Artist) have both joined the film, which also has Andy Serkis (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), June Diane Raphael (The Disaster Artist) and Ravi Patel (Master of None) on board.
The film, which is currently shooting in Montreal, sees Rogen as Fred Flarsky, “a down-on-his-luck journalist who decides to pursue his childhood crush and former babysitter (Theron), who now happens to be the secretary of state and one of the most powerful people on the planet.” Skarsgard is set to portray the Canadian prime minister, with Park as Flarsky’s boss at his newspaper.
Skarsgard has recently completed filming on Jeremy Saulnier’s thriller Hold the Dark, while Park has the Marvel sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp incoming in 2018 and can currently be seen alongside Rogen in James Franco’s The Disaster Artist.
