Miles Teller is to lead the comedy film Possum Song
The 38-year-old actor is to lead ‘Sing Sing’ director Greg Kwedar’s upcoming flick as a Nashville star who had secretly stolen the songs for his hit debut album.
‘Possum Song’ will follow singer Eddie (Teller) as he faces mounting pressure to finish his follow-up solo album – or risk losing everything.
With a new wife and a baby on the way and just as hope begins to fade, he encounters an unlikely source of inspiration: a magical possum with extraordinary musical talent. But their collaboration comes at a steep and potentially perilous price.
As well as starring in the movie, Teller is to produce ‘Possum Song’ with Lee Stobby, while Kwedar and Clint Bentley also produce under their Ethos banner.
Kwedar will be working from a script written by Isaac Adamson, while FilmNation Entertainment is to produce and fully finance the movie.
FilmNation Entertainment’s President of Motion Pictures Ben Browning told Deadline: “This is a one-of-a-kind film.
“Greg’s vision, Isaac’s hilarious script and the magnetic performance of Miles Teller will create the kind of cinematic ride that audiences are craving – with showstopping music, visceral shocks, possums, humor and emotion.”
This comes just after it was reported Teller would star in director Paul Downs Colaizzo’s ‘Winter Games’ for Paramount Pictures.
