Netflix just announced additional cast members for the feature film Special Correspondents written and directed by Ricky Gervais. Joining Gervais and Eric Bana in the cast of the satirical comedy will be Vera Farmiga, Benjamin Bratt, Kelly Macdonald, Kevin Pollak, America Ferrera, and Raúl Castillo. And because writing, directing, and starring in Special Correspondents won’t be keeping him busy enough, Gervais is also producing the film along with Chris Coen, Aaron L. Gilbert, Manuel Munz, and Larry Sanitsky.

Filming is currently underway in Toronto and is scheduled to finish up in July in New York City. Netflix is aiming for a 2016 premiere of Gervais’ film.

The Plot:

Special Correspondents is about a struggling New York based radio journalist, whose arrogance and decadent lifestyle has hindered his career. With his job on the line he fakes front line war reports from the comfort of his hideout above a Spanish restaurant in Manhattan.
