The cast of the ensemble romantic comedy Mother’s Day expanded by six as just announced by Open Road Films. Justified‘s Timothy Olyphant, Pretty Little Liars‘ Shay Mitchell, Tomorrowland‘s Britt Robertson, The Brink‘s Aasif Mandvi, The Real‘s Loni Love, and Bad Education‘s Jack Whitehall have joined the cast.
The rom-com from genre veteran director Garry Marshall is shooting in Atlanta and already has Julia Robert, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, and Jason Sudeikis on board to star.
In addition to announcing the new cast members, Open Road Films released details on who they will be playing. “Olyphant plays Henry, the ex-husband of Aniston’s character, Sandy. Mitchell will play Tina, Henry’s new bouncy, beautiful wife, who wants nothing more than to be the perfect stepmom to Henry and Sandy’s children.
Robertson plays Kristin, a slightly neurotic new mother to a one-year-old girl. Whitehall will play Zack, an aspiring standup comedian and boyfriend of Robertson’s character Kristin. Mandvi is Russell, a successful doctor and husband of Hudson’s character Jesse. Love plays Kimberly, a friend of Bradley’s (Sudeikis) and a mom herself.”
Mother’s Day opens in theaters on April 29, 2016. Marshall is directing from a script by Anya Kochoff-Romano and Lily Hollander, Matt Walker, and Tom Hines.
