EXCLUSIVE: Jack Martin (La Brea) has closed a deal to star alongside Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone and Lulu Wilson in the untitled new Hulu comedy from writer-directors Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, aka BriTANicK.
Announced last week, the film follows a group of college students who order a pizza to their dorm. But after accidentally ingest a home-made drug, their simple journey down two flights of stairs to retrieve it turns into a mind-bendingly transformative quest.
Martin plays Blake, the head RA who serves as the story’s main villain. Blake is a sociopathic control freak who walks around as if Hans Landa ruled the college dorms.
American High’s Jeremy Garelick and Will Phelps will produce alongside All Things Comedy’s Billy Rosenberg, as well as Jason Zaro, with Matarazzo exec producing.
Best known for a prominent role in NBC’s sci-fi drama series, La Brea, which ran for three seasons, Martin’s other credits include appearances on The Rookie and All Rise. The actor is repped by CAA, Mgmt Entertainment, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes.
