Simon Rex, Uzo Aduba, and Jim Gaffigan join cast of small-town mystery comedy Providence
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lily James will be starring in the comedy about a sensationalized murder in an charming island town
Since he spouted the excellence of movies that run under an hour and thirty minutes on SNL, we’ve been waiting for Simon Rex to star in his own short-ass movie. Red Rocket clocks in at two hours and eight minutes—but we held out hope for a film that would hit that short, sweet, and snappy criteria. Maybe the time is nigh, as Deadline reports Rex has joined the comedy film Providence, along with Uzo Aduba (Mrs. America), and Jim Gaffigan.
Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou), José María Yazpik (Polvo), Nina Arianda (Midnight In Paris), and Joey Lauren Adams (Chasing Amy) have also signed on for the film. Previously announced cast members, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Super Pumped), Lily James (Pam & Tommy), and Himesh Patel (Station Eleven) will lead the film in unknown roles.
