Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Wolf Like Me) and Greg Kinnear (As Good as It Gets, Little Miss Sunshine) have signed on to star in the family comedy The Present from director Christian Ditter (How to Be Single). In the film, “a brilliant boy discovers he can manipulate time using an enchanted family heirloom, then teaming up with his siblings to go back to the eve of their parents’ separation in hopes of changing the outcome. As their schemes become more elaborate, the siblings will learn about family bonds and what they can and can’t control.”
Fisher and Kinnear are playing the parents in search of reconciliation, with Easton Rocket Sweda (General Hospital), Shay Rudolph (The Baby-Sitters Club) and Mason Shea Joyce (Euphoria) portraying the siblings who just might be the only people who can make that happen. Ross Butler (Shazam!) also stars in the film written by Emmy winner Jay Martel (Key and Peele).
Fisher was most recently seen alongside Josh Gad in the Peacock series Wolf Like Me, which was renewed for a second season last month, and has also been cast in Josh Greenbaum’s upcoming comedy Strays for Universal.
Kinnear stars opposite Courteney Cox in Starz’s horror-comedy series Shining Vale, which has also been picked up for a second season.
