The UNTITLED ORIGINAL COMEDY FROM JUDD APATOW AND GLEN POWELL will now be titled THE COMEBACK KING. The film will still release on its previously announced date of Friday, February 5, 2027 – wide.
The film, about a country western star in free fall, is set to star Glen Powell, Cristin Milioti, Madelyn Cline, Stavros Halkias and Li Jin Hao. Judd Apatow will direct. Apatow and Powell wrote the script together.
Apatow will produce through his longstanding Apatow Productions overall deal with the Studio. Apatow’s relationship with the Studio dates back to his 2005 directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and he has since directed Knocked Up, Funny People, This is 40, Trainwreck and The King of Staten Island for the Studio. Barry Mendel and Josh Church will executive produce.
Powell and Dan Cohen will produce through Barnstorm’s first look deal with the Studio. Powell’s relationship with the Studio originates with his starring role in Twisters, which overperformed against all industry expectations, becoming the biggest opening for a natural disaster film ever at the domestic box office and grossing $267.8 million overall in the domestic box office.
Kevin Misher will produce through Misher Films. Misher has a storied history with Universal Pictures, where he was President of Production from 1996-2001 and supervised production for some of the Studio’s most acclaimed features, including Erin Brockovich, The Fast and the Furious, Meet the Parents, and The Mummy. Misher subsequently formed Misher Films, where he has been producing a variety of films over the past two decades, including Fighting With My Family, Coming 2 America and You People.
Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way.

“THE RUNNING MAN”
SYNOPSIS
In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.
