    ‘Horrible Bosses 2’ ropes in ‘We’re the Millers’ writers to direct, produce

    MUMBAI: Sean Anders and John Morris, who penned New Line’s surprise comedy runaway hit We’re the Millers, have been tapped by the company to tackle its comedy Horrible Bosses 2. Anders will helm the project while Morris will join the project as a producer.

    Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day and Jamie Foxx are set to reprise their roles in the workplace comedy.

    John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who worked on the first movie, penned the original draft for the sequel. Anders and Morris recently did a rewrite.

    Brett Ratner and Jay Stern are producing while John Cheng, John Rickard and Diana Pokorny are executive producing.

    Anders directed Sex Drive and That’s My Boy, the latter starring Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. The duo is known for their comedy-writing work on She’s Out of My League and Hot Tub Time Machine. They also worked on Dumb and Dumber To, the upcoming sequel to the Jim Carrey/Jeff Daniels classic Dumb and Dumber.

    Warner Bros to release Horrible Bosses on 25 May

    MUMBAI: After a year-long wait, when the film ran into the nitty-gritty’s of the Censor Board, Warner Bros is set to release Horrible Bosses across India on 25 May, eleven months after its international release.

    Initially, the film was to release on 8 July last year but since the Censors raised several issues in terms of content it took over a year for the makers to solve. The film has since been certified with a ‘A’ certificate.

    The plot follows three friends, played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis who decide to murder their respective abusive bosses.

    When it released in June last year, Horrible Bosses exceeded financial expectations and accrued over $28 million in the first three days to make it the number two film in the US in its opening weekend and later went on to become the highest grossing black comedy film of all time by grossing over $209 million worldwide.
