Hulu has picked up an untitled feature from comedy duo BriTANIcK, Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, that will be led by “Stranger Things” star Gaten Matarazzo and “The Goldbergs” breakout Sean Giambrone.
The film, which is currently billed as “The Untitled BriTANicK Pizza Movie,” comes from American High and All Things Comedy. The story is said to follow a pair of loner college undergrads, Jack and Montgomery, who order a take-out pie, but accidentally take a homemade drug that turns a two-floor journey downstairs into a “mind-bendingly transformative quest.”
The pizza movie is produced by Jeremy Garelick and Will Phelps for American High and Billy Rosenberg for All Things Comedy. Jazon Zaro, Max A. Butler and Molle DeBartolo are also producers. Matarazzo is an executive producer.
McElhaney and Kocher both featured on Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch list in 2013, representing their comedy banner BriTANicK. The two continue to perform live and have written for “Saturday Night Live.” They wrote an upcoming feature, “Over Your Dead Body,” starring Jason Segel. They are represented by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment.
Giambrone starred as Adam Goldberg across 10 seasons of “The Goldbergs.” He also is a voice actor for “Solar Opposites” and “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.” His last feature credit was playing Ron Stoppable in the live-action 2019 “Kim Possible” adaptation, though he has also wrapped photography on an independent film titled “Slay.” He is represented by Thruline, Gersh and Felker, Toczek, Abramson, McGinnis, Ryan.
Matarazzo broke out as one of the child stars of “Stranger Things” and will appear again in the final season of the Netflix series, premiering later this year. He is represented by Intention, UTA, Jill Fritzo PR and McKuin Frankel Whitehead.
