After her stellar performance in the Road House reboot, Daniela Melchior will be working with Amazon MGM Studios on an exciting new project. According to Deadline, she will star alongside comedian Eric Andre in the upcoming film Balls Up.
Peter Farrelly’s action comedy promises both thrills and laughs. The impressive cast also includes Mark Wahlberg, Paul Walter Hauser, Molly Shannon, Eva De Dominici and Benjamin Bratt.
Skydance’s film Balls Up follows two American marketing executives who are fired from their jobs for ruining a client sponsorship opportunity. In an unexpected twist of fate, they decide to use their free tickets to a big football match.
What begins as a fun outing soon turns into chaos, resulting in the two being chased across the country due to their drunken behavior. The film’s screenplay was written by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who are known for their sharp wit and engaging storytelling.
The production team on Balls Up includes Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger and Andrew Muscato, as well as Wernick and Reese. Mark Fisher is on board as executive producer. This is the fourth collaboration between Amazon MGM and Skydance, following Air, The Tomorrow War (starring Chris Pratt) and Without Remorse (starring Michael B. Jordan).
Peter Farrelly’s partnership with Amazon MGM continues with Balls Up. Farrelly previously worked with the studio on Ricky Stanicky, a comedy starring Zac Efron, John Cena, Jermaine Fowler and Andrew Santino. The film premiered on Prime Video in March. Farrelly’s comedic sensibility and experience making engaging films make him a perfect choice for Balls Up.
Daniela Melchior is taking Hollywood by storm. She recently starred in the Road House reboot, in which she took on Jake Gyllenhaal. The film, released in March, broke streaming records, prompting the announcement of a sequel.
Melchior’s breakthrough role was in DC Studios’ The Suicide Squad, followed by significant roles in Fast X and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Her talent and versatility have quickly made her a well-known actress in the industry. Melchior is represented by Gersh, Brave Artist Management, and Felker Toczek Suddleson.
Eric Andre, best known for his Adult Swim series The Eric Andre Show, which recently received two Emmy nominations for its sixth season, also joins the Balls Up cast. Last year, Andre appeared as an expert panelist on ABC’s The Prank Panel and launched his first podcast, Bombing with Eric Andre, as part of iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network.
Andre’s distinctive comedic style and ability to captivate audiences will undoubtedly add an exciting element to the film. He is represented by Rise Management, UTA and Ziffren Brittenham.
