Vince Vaughn & Paul Walter Hauser Join Comedy ‘Queenpins’ With Leslie Jones & Kristen Bell

Emmy-nominated husband and wife team Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly (Beneath The Harvest Sky) are writing and directing the movie, which is inspired by the true story of the largest coupon counterfeit in the history of the U.S..

Independent financier Align has joined AGC Studios, Aloe Entertainment, and Marquee Entertainment to provide financing and co-produce the project. AGC’s Head of Production Linda McDonough is producing via her Marquee Entertainment banner alongside Adrian Politowski and Martin Metz of Align, AGC, in association with Aloe Entertainment’s Mary Aloe and Ludascript’s Gillian Hormel. Stuart Ford, AGC’s Miguel Palos and Anik Decoste serve as executive producers.

Also onboard ahead of pre-production starting this summer are cinematographer Magdalena Gorka, casting director Allison Jones, production designer Jennifer Klide, and costume designer Julie Carnahan.
