Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone’s new comedy Michelle Darnell has been stocking up on comically-gifted cast members like some of recruitment agency for the funny. Joining McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Peter Dinklage and Kathy Bates is Veep’s Timothy Simons.
No word on who Simons, the smug White House liaison Jonah ‘Jonad’ Ryan in HBO's Emmy-winning comedy, will be playing as yet. We do know that McCarthy, Steve Mallory and Falcone’s script has the former playing a former finance fromage who gets locked up for insider trailer and emerges to discover that her former associates and friends want payback for her misdemeanours.
Among those will be Bell, as her former assistant, a single mother raising her child and harbouring no real love for her ex-boss. Also already aboard are Dinklage as Michelle’s primary antagonist and Bates as the mentor that she always looked up to. The film is in pre-production at Universal now, and is already scheduled for May 6 next year in the UK.
Simons' big screen profile has been building too with recent roles in The Interview, Inherent Vice and Draft Day. He's next up in Jack Black horror-comedy Goosebumps and Joe Swanberg's next, Digging For Fire.
