Film news: Rob Lowe and Keith David partner up in dark comedy ‘My New Friend Jim’

Sumerian Pictures has announced production is underway on My New Friend Jim, a darkly funny, character-driven film pairing two icons — Rob Lowe and Keith David, with Ash Avildsen in the director’s chair.

The film will pit its two leads through comedy, chaos, and redemption amid the backdrop of Reno, Nevada.

Film News Blitz’s Dan Lawrence reports on this story that aims to hit both the heart and the funny bone.
