Andy Samberg is returning to the rom-com genre with 42.6 Years. A unique twist on the genre, Samberg will play a man cryogenically frozen to save his life and reuniting with his ex upon awakening — 42.6 years later.
Andy Samberg has signed on to play a cryogenically frozen man in the unique upcoming rom-com 42.6 Years. Having first risent to stardom with Saturday Night Live, Samberg is best known to many for his role as Jake Peralta in the hit NBC original series Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that Samberg has now signed on to play a cryogenically frozen man in 42.6 Years. The report says that Samberg will be joined by Watchmen star Jean Smart, who also recently appeared in Damien Chazelle's old Hollywood epic Babylon. Cruella and I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie is set helm the project, which was put into motion by Samberg and the film's writer Seth Reiss, fresh off the success of co-writing The Menu.
Further details about the film's plot have yet to be made available, but the announcement paints an interesting picture for the film. Samberg is known for his comedic talents, especially as a fish-out-of-water character, which was on full display throughout as he played Jake Peralta in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. 42.6 Years appears to be taking a common romantic comedy trope and flipping it on its head, as was the case with Samberg's Palm Springs in 2020.
42.6 Years is still very early in its development at Amazon Studios, so no release date has yet been attached to the project. It also remains unclear whether the film will have a theatrical release prior to hitting streaming. With a genre-bending concept, Andy Samberg and Jean Smart on board, and a writer who proved his comedic and expectation-defying storytelling abilities in The Menu, 42.6 Years appears to be set up for success.
