Common is continuing to cop ood roles in film. Next up he’s slated to star in the comedy Date Night along with stars a plenty. Thise include Tina Fey and Steve Carell.
According to Cinematical, Date Night follows a couple who go out for dinner and a movie, and then get mistaken as other people — that leads to, one would assume, comic moments. Fey and Carell are the couple, while Wahlberg will play a black ops man in private security who offers to help them.
James Franco will play a “dim con man” and the Oscar-nominated Taraji P. Henson will play a cop who doesn’t take things at face value. Common and Jimmi Simpson will play detectives on the take, Leighton Meester will play the couple’s babysitter, and Kristen Wiig will play Fey’s best friend.
