EXCLUSIVE: Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Brie Larson and Fred Armisen will star in Relanxious, a relationship comedy that marks the directorial debut of writer Christopher Storer. The film will be produced by Daniel Dubiecki, who recently launched The Allegiance Theater; and Lorene Scafaria, writer/director of the upcoming Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Relanxious will shoot this summer in Chicago.

Wilde plays Barrett, an anxiety-ridden woman who meets and is smitten with George. Played by Sudeikis, George is agoraphobic and so their courtship is limited to phone conversations in which they discuss the dates they would go on if their phobias didn’t stand in the way. As the fantasies develop, the two must decide if they can put aside their fears in order to find real-life romance. Larsen plays Barrett’s sister, and Armisen plays George’s friend and only contact with the outside world. Wilde recently wrapped the Steve Carell-Jim Carrey comedy Burt Wonderstone, while Saturday Night Live castmember Sudeikis starred in Horrible Bosses. Larsen is in 21 Jump Street and Sudeikis’ fellow SNL castmember Armisen is moonlighting on the IFC series Portlandia. WME packaged the film.


The last string of films Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde have both starred in have been less then stellar. My only hope is Fred Armisen who has been doing great work on Portlandia.
This sounds redicutarded.
What’s with all the portmanteau titles? Relanxious, Suburgatory, etc.
Thank you for the only two examples you could think of.
I’ll stick with the similar-sounding, more fanciful approach in the DTV classic Lunatics: A Love Story.
Shockingly, One of the best scripts I have read in years.
Sudekis is on a serious roll lately. Dude is the king of comedy right now.
Nerd, did you see him host the MTV Awards . He was just as bad as James Franco hosting the Oscars. Plus, Jason Sudekis’ comedy is always forced.
I think this sounds really interesting — a huge part of it being that i’ve never heard of a script including agoraphobia before (and it’s something thats really packed into my heart, because my grandmother was agoraphobic.) — and being a female who deals with tremendous anxiety herself on a daily basis, i’m really excited for this.
Can someone explain to me how he can land such women as Olivia Wilde and January Jones? Deve mangiare una grande salsiccia?
I have confidence that Lorene Scafaria will produce first rate film and get best from cast.
Magnificent items from you, man. I’ve take into account your stuff prior to and you are simply too fantastic. I actually like what you’ve

discuss these subjects. To the next! Cheers!!
This is a topic that is close to my heart… Cheers! Where
are your contact details though?
I do not comment routinely on individuals sites, mainly simply because the information is horrific and I am not there long enough to care.
… however this site honestly forced me to stop in my tracks.
The content is excellent, and I do mean excellent.
Fantastic work and I have saved the site and will return later,
anxious for more.
