Also starring Powell is an untitled musical comedy from Universal, now scheduled for February 5, 2027. The film, directed by "Knocked Up" filmmaker Judd Apatow, who also co-wrote the script with Powell, will follow Powell's character, a country singer whose career is on the decline. Additionally, Emmy winner Cristin Milioti was reported by Deadline today to be joining the cast.
Powell's third project is another sci-fi film directed by Esmail, titled "Tesseract." Distributed by Amazon and MGM, the plot details remain under wraps, with production expected to begin this summer. Powell's involvement was announced recently.
