What to expect in Players?
“In the film, New York sportswriter Mack has spent years devising successful hook-up ‘plays’ with best friend Adam and their crew,” reads the synopsis. “While it has led to countless one-night stands over the years, following their playbook comes with a strict set of ground rules — chief among them: you can’t build a relationship from a play. When Mack unexpectedly falls for her latest target, charming war correspondent Nick, she begins to rethink the game entirely. As the lines between work, fun, friendship, and romance begin to blur, Mack must learn what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps.”
Players is directed by Trish Sie from a screenplay written by Whit Anderson. The film stars Rodriguez, Wayans Jr., Joel Courtney, Augustus Prew, Liza Koshy, Ego Nwodim, Marin Hinkle and Tom Ellis. It is executive produced by Rodriguez, Ross Girard, Sophia Lin, and Molly Breeskin, with Ross M. Dinerstein, Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, and Ryan Christians serving as producers.
