Amazon MGM Studios is continuing to lock up its cast for the forthcoming comedy feature Judgment Day from director Nicholas Stoller.
Heidi Gardner and golfer Bobby Ray have joined the cast for the movie that is set to star Will Ferrell and Zac Efron. Other previously announced castmembers include Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jimmy Tatro, Michael Peña, Fortune Feimster, Bill Camp, Billy Eichner, Tyler Lofton, Rachel Hilson, Rory Scovel, Bobby Cannavale and Regina Hall.
Judgment Day focuses on a young convict (Efron) who gets out of prison and takes an unscripted TV courtroom hostage, as he blames the egomaniacal judge (Ferrell) for the ruling that destroyed his life. Details regarding Gardner and Ray’s roles have not yet been shared for the movie that had previously been untitled. A release date has not been announced.
Stoller reunites with Amazon MGM after directing Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon for the studio’s You’re Cordially Invited, which began streaming earlier this year. Producers for Judgment Day include Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Alex Brown for Gloria Sanchez Productions and Stoller for Stoller Global Solutions.
Gardner will complete her eighth season on Saturday Night Live later this month and can also be seen on the final season of Netflix’s You. Additionally, she is known for such series as Apple TV+’s Shrinking and the Netflix features Otherhood and the Adam Sandler-led Hustle, along with voice roles in Leo and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Ray is ranked 10th in the world in the sport of long drive. He is also known for broadcast appearances and YouTube content centering on golf and was the winner of the Fox dating series Paradise Hotel in 2019.
Gardner is represented by CAA, OPE, and Melissa Fox at Hansen Jacobson.
