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 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.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
