Amy Adams is no stranger to taking on ambitious projects, and her latest venture, Lazy Susans, is no exception. Set to produce and star in this new comedy from 20th Century Studios, Adams continues her streak of blending heartfelt narratives with humor, this time focusing on a group of suburban moms who form a rock band. The film draws inspiration from the real-life Boston group The Lazy Susans, who turned their pandemic woes into something far more rebellious and uplifting — music.
The movie's script will be written by Annie Mumolo, best known for co-writing Bridesmaids (2011), and Stan Chervin, an Academy Award nominee for Moneyball (2011). Mumolo's flair for crafting hilariously relatable characters and stories that capture the complexity of womanhood, combined with Chervin's knack for weaving heartfelt narratives, makes this collaboration particularly exciting.
Adams has a deep connection to powerful, transformative roles. Her recent performance in Nightbitch, where she plays a stay-at-home mom who faces a surreal twist in her daily life, demonstrates her ability to embrace motherhood's highs and lows. This makes her involvement in Lazy Susans feel almost fated. The film, while still early in development with no director attached, promises to be both humorous and touching.
As for the rest of the cast and release details, there's still a bit of a wait. With Adams' upcoming releases — including Klara and the Sun, directed by Taika Waititi, and At the Sea — we can expect Lazy Susans to debut in late 2025. With its real-world roots and Adams' star power, Lazy Susans could easily become the next must-watch comedy.
It's clear that Lazy Susans will not just be a lighthearted romp but a film with depth, humor, and a dash of rock ‘n' roll rebellion, perfectly suited for anyone who loves to see relatable stories with a comedic edge.
