Harrison Powell, Dominique Telson and Fred Bernstein will produce, with Rick Jackson and Claudine Marrotte executive producing. Astute Films is financing the movie, which is now in production in Atlanta.

Curtin appears in the upcoming The Spy Who Dumped Me, starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon.

And Grey’s Anatomy actor Devine has starred in over 60 feature films during a four-decade career.
