Louis C.K. To Direct And Star In New Comedy I'm A Cop
Comedian returns to the big screen after fourteen years.
The Hollywood Reporter, the film will follow the story of "a depressed middle-aged man who is a volunteer police officer living in the shadow of his mother, a highly-decorated retired officer. When she dies, her continued influence forces him to become a real police officer, which is something he never wanted to be. There's no schedule for the movie yet, however the comedian will be hoping this fares a lot better than his previous attempt at directing for the big screen. While his sitcom Louis has enjoyed tremendous success, the last time he was behind the camera on a movie was 2001's bomb Pootie Tang, from which he was actually removed during editing. Scott Rudin, who also works on Louis and the stand-up specials, will produce the film along with Dave Becky and Blair Breard. C.K. will next appear alongside Bryan Cranston in Trumbo, a biopic of blacklisted screenwriter Donald Trumbo, and lend his voice to the animated The Secret Life of Pets, both of which are due out in the coming year.
Not content with directing, writing and starring in his own TV show, Louis C.K. will be bringing his triple-threat of talents to the big screen with indie comedy I'm A Cop. According to
