TO SHARE THIS PAGE. Sony Pictures Classics has announced that _The Comedian_ will see release in theaters nationwide beginning February 3. Directed by Taylor Hackford and starring Robert De
Niro, Leslie Mann, Edie Falco, Harvey Keitel, Danny DeVito, Patti LuPone and Veronica Ferres, the film follows an aging comic icon (De Niro) desperate to reinvent himself while facing an
audience only interested in knowing him as the former television character he once played. Already a strain on his younger brother (Danny DeVito) and his wife (Patti LuPone), Jackie ends up
accosting an audience member and finds himself forced to serve community service, where he meets the daughter of a sleazy Florida real estate mogul. Through their unlikely friendship, they
overcome their own emotional damage and emerge as better people. Created by Art Linson who co-wrote the script with Jeff Ross, Richard LaGravenese, and Lewis Friedman, the film premiered at
AFI Fest in November and will close the Palm Springs Film Festival on January 15th. WATCH ON DEADLINE 3 Comments JavaScript is required to load the comments. MARKETPLACE SITE ad
