Nathan Larson is reteaming with director Jesse Peretz on the upcoming comedy drama Juliet, Naked. The movie starring Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke and Chris O’Dowd is based on the novel of the same title by Nick Hornby and tells the story of a woman and her unlikely transatlantic romance with once revered, now faded, singer-songwriter. Tamara Jenkins (The Savages, Slums of Beverly Hills), Jim Taylor (Sideways, Election), Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams, Sneakers) and Evgenia Peretz wrote the screenplay. Judd Apatow (The 40-Year Old Virgin, Trainwreck), Barry Mendel (The Sixth Sense, The Big Sick), Albert Berger & Ron Yerxa (Little Miss Sunshine, Cold Mountain) and Jeffrey Soros (Rules Don’t Apply) are producing the project. Larson has previously collaborated with Peretz on the features (Our) Idiot Brother, First Love, Last Rites and The Château. Juliet, Naked will premiere in January at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
