Filming is underway on New Line Cinema’s We’re the Millers, which reunites Horrible Bosses co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis under the direction of Rawson Marshall Thurber. Here’s the announcement:
Principal photography is underway on New Line Cinemas action comedy Were The Millers, starring Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses) and Jason Sudeikis (The Campaign). The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story).
David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kidsafter all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).
In order to wipe the slate cleanand maintain a clean bill of healthDavid must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brads latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the Millers are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.
Thurber directs Were The Millers from a screenplay by Steve Faber & Bob Fisher (Wedding Crashers) and Sean Anders & John Morris (Hot Tub Time Machine). The film also stars Emma Roberts (The Art of Getting By), Nick Offerman (21 Jump Street), Kathryn Hahn (The Dictator), Will Poulter (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) and Ed Helms (the Hangover films).
Vincent Newman, Tucker Tooley, Happy Walters and Chris Bender are the producers, with David Heyman, J.C. Spink and Marcus Viscidi serving as executive producers.
Thurbers behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Barry Peterson (21 Jump Street); production designer Clayton Hartley (The Other Guys); editor Mike Sale (The Hangover Part II); and costume designer Shay Cunliffe (The Bourne Legacy).
Shot on location in North Carolina and New Mexico, New Line Cinemas Were The Millers will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
