David Frankel will direct Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening in the Paramount Plus original film «Jerry and Marge Go Large»
Paramount Plus is betting the house on “Jerry and Marge Go Large,” the true story of a lotto-scamming couple to be played by Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening. Director David Frankel (“The Devil Wears Prada,” “Marley and Me”) will direct the tale of a retired Michigan couple who helps revitalize their community by deftly gaming the Massachusetts lottery. Emmy nominee Brad Copeland (“Arrested Development,” “Wild Hogs”) penned the script for the project, one of several straight-to-service titles in the works at the ViacomCBS streamer. Gil Netter, the Oscar nominee behind “The Blind Side” and “Life of Pi,” is producing alongside Levantine Films (“Hidden Figures”).
