Yahoo Movies Schitt's Creek star lines up movie comeback in new wedding comedy
Schitt's Creek star Annie Murphy is heading back to movie acting with upcoming comedy film The People We Hate at the Wedding.
It focuses on a dysfunctional family who are forced to reconnect at a wedding.
Deadline reports that Allison Janney has joined the film, and will star alongside Murphy and Pitch Perfect star Ben Platt.
The upcoming project is an adaptation of the Grant Ginder book of the same name about widowed Donna who loves smoking joints, drinking wine and watching House Hunters.
She's forced to reunite with her daughter Alice, who is stuck in a dead-end job and having an affair with her married boss, and son Paul, who isn't a fan of monogamy, to attend the wedding of her daughter Eloise.
From her first marriage, Eloise has spent most of her years at boarding school and living off a trust fund, and is now getting hitched in London.
It's the first film Alexis Rose star Murphy has made since 2010 when she had roles in the Canadian drama A Windigo Tale and comedy-drama Lick.
Annie is also set to appear in the upcoming AMC dark-comedy Kevin Can F**k Himself.
The show's title is a play on Kevin James' cancelled sitcom Kevin Can Wait, where the main character revealed his wife had been killed off following the first season without an explanation, only to become a punchline in the second season.
Annie plays Allison, a perfect sitcom-style wife who goes rogue and escapes the confines of her marriage.
Kevin Can F**k Himself is set to air this summer on AMC, with a UK release still to be announced.
