Entertainment One has debuted a new trailer and poster for the upcoming comedy Late Night with Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson. The film comes to cinemas in June following a UK debut at May’s Sundance Film Festival offshoot in London.
Official synopsis: LATE NIGHT is the story of legendary late-night talk show host Katherine Newbury (Thompson) who, after years of complacency and declining ratings, finds her show is on the network’s chopping block. Katherine’s world is turned upside down when she hires her first ever female staff writer, Molly Patel (Kaling) who brings fresh eyes and an honest perspective. Katherine’s decision has unexpectedly hilarious consequences, as her show is upended by Molly’s passionate, unapologetic, at times outright bizarre approach to comedy and to life. By finally opening up to Molly and to her audience, with warmth, vulnerability (and the occasional menopause joke) Katherine reconnects with both the public and those closest to her.
This looks great and some early word on the movie is very good indeed. Also amongst the cast are Amy Ryan, John Lithgow and Hugh Dancy.
It will open here on 7th June. Here’s that new trailer.
