“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” star Domhnall Gleeson, Christina Applegate, Thomas Haden
Church and Nina Dobrev are starring in the romantic comedy “Crash Pad,” which has started
shooting in Vancouver, Variety has learned exclusively.
Wonderful Films, Indomitable Entertainment, and Windowseat Entertainment are the production
companies. Kevin Tent, the Oscar-nominated editor on Alexander Payne’s”The Descendants” and
“Nebraska” is making his directorial debut with a Black List script by Jeremy Catalino.
Gleeson stars as a hopeless romantic who thinks he’s found true love with an older woman, played
by Applegate — only to learn that she’s married and that his fling is merely an instrument of
revenge against her neglectful husband, played by Church. He threatens to blackmail her by telling
her husband but his plan backfires when the husband decides the best way to get back at his wife is
to move in with Gleeson’s character and adopt the slacker’s life of debauchery.
Payne, who directed Haden Church in “Sideways,” is executive producing. Producers are William
Horberg of Wonderful Films and Lauren Bratman. Besides Payne, the other exec producers are
Dominic Ianno, Jon Ferro and Stuart Pollok of Indomitable Entertainment, Joseph McKelheer and
Bill Kiely of Windowseat Entertainment, and Vicki Sotheran of Sodona Entertainment.

“As an editor, Kevin Tent has helped craft some of the great performances of the last decades,”
said Horberg. “He is a natural storyteller, and I can’t wait to see what he does with this wonderful
cast and Jeremy’s hilarious script. And of course he can always fix it in post!”
