Seth Rogen, Charlize Theron Comedy Flarsky Delayed Four Months To Open In Summer

Lionsgate are feeling confident about their forthcoming comedy Flarsky.

The film, which stars Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron, recently scored highly in test screenings, with a majority of audience members giving it scores above 95%, and as such the studio now feel the feature can perform amongst the big boys in the Summer blockbuster season.

Flarsky will follow down-on-his-luck journalist Fred Flarsky (Rogen) who – following a series of ludicrous circumstances – catches the eye of the most powerful woman in the world, Charlotte Field (Theron). From there, Flarsky becomes a confidante and an integral member of her inner circle, as Field works her way towards the US Presidency.

The project had been slated for a February 8th 2019 release date, but following the positive test screenings Lionsgate have pushed the film back to the 7th of July – for some perspective, that’s the same weekend Ocean’s 8 opened this year.

Flarsky has been directed by Jonathan Levine, and also stars Alexander Skarsgard, Andy Serkis, and O’Shea Jackson Jr.
