Kumail Nanjiani and Adam McKay are teaming up for a true-life spy comedy
Kumail Nanjiani’s ascent from beloved stand-up, to indie movie hero, to full on blockbuster comedy star continues apace this week, with news breaking today that the Big Sick star is teaming up with Vice’s Adam McKay for a new true-life spy comedy. No Glory is based on a manuscript by “National Security Operative and author” Scott Shephard—one that doesn’t appear to have been published, excerpted, or mentioned anywhere, as far as we can tell, so good spycraft there—about his adventures as a “rambunctiously patriotic” “first-generation American.”
