Salma Hayek And Alec Baldwin To Star In Comedy DRUNK PARENTS

Five time Golden Globe and Emmy winner Alec Baldwin and Oscar nominee Salma Hayek will star in the feature comedy DRUNK PARENTS, to be directed by Fred Wolf, from a screenplay by Wolf and Peter Gaulke. The film’s producers, Robert Ogden Barnum and Aaron L. Gilbert, announced a first quarter 2016 start date.

The film is a co-production with Fortitude International and Bron Studios, in association with CW Media Finance.  Joining Fortitude’s Barnum and Bron’s Gilbert will be CW’s Jason Cloth, Fortitude’s Nadine de Barros and Daniel Wagner and Brillstein Entertainment’s Jai Khanna, serving as Executive Producers.

This comedy features Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek as the Teagartens.  They are not only drunk with love for their daughter, but also literally drunk the night after dropping her off at college, leading to a bad decision, a kidnapping, and a serious case of mistaken identity. Simultaneously moving and uproariously funny, DRUNK PARENTS becomes a “riches-to-rags-and-trying-to-stay-out-of-jail-while-hoping-your-superficial-friends-don’t-find-out” story of discovering who you really are when you’re at your worst.

Alec Baldwin is currently starring in Paramount’s worldwide box office hit MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION opposite Tom Cruise and will next appear in Columbia Pictures’ CONCUSSION co-starring Will Smith to be released on Christmas as well as the UNTITLED WARREN BEATTY PROJECT with Martin Sheen, Annette Bening and Matthew Broderick, in post-production. He is known to audiences as Jack Donaghy on NBC’s popular and award-winning sitcom, “30 Rock” for which he won two Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Salma Hayek has two films in theatrical release: Kahlil Gibran’s animated film THE PROPHET, which she produced and provided her voice opposite Liam Neeson and John Krasinski and the romantic comedy SOME KIND OF BEAUTIFUL with Pierce Brosnan and Jessica Alba. Her upcoming films include SEPTEMBERS OF SHIRAZ co-starring Adrien Brody which is world premiering at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival and Matteo Garrone’s 2015 Cannes Film Festival selection TALE OF TALES to be released by IFC Films. Her past credits include GROWN UPS and GROWN UPS 2, PUSS IN BOOTS and FRIDA, which led to an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Fred Wolf previously directed Columbia Pictures’ THE HOUSE BUNNY, with Anna Faris and Emma Stone, and has written or co-written such comedies as TOMMY BOY, BLACK SHEEP, JOE DIRT and JOE DIRT TWO (which he also directed for Sony Crackle), as well as the box office hits GROWN UPS and GROWN UPS 2, with Adam Sandler.
