Kumail Nanjiani joins Josh Hartnett in the upcoming film All Day & All Night written by Tommy Wirkola and John Niven and to be directed by Tommy Wirkola. Alongside Nanjiani, Prodigy Public Relations announces that O’Shea Jackson Jr., John Leguizamo, and Dan Fogler have also been cast in the film.
All Day & All Night is set to begin production later this year, with XYZ Films producing with Wirkola and Hartnett. The film has also received financing from IPR.VC who will also handle global sales.
Nanjiani and Jackson Jr. will play members of Hartnett’s Billy Davies’s bank robbing crew, who has returned to a life of crime to come up with the tuition money required for his daughter to attend Harvard. When the bank heist goes wrong, Davies and his crew accidentally stumble onto a reality TV show set, lending complications for the cops (Leguizamo and Fogler) to capture the group.
