They say art reflects life, and this new comedy written and directed by Brit McAdams and starring Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, The Royal Tenenbaums) goes beyond the canvas to portray something beautiful in the lines between parody and sincerity. It look perfect. The film – obviously inspired by Bob Ross but not a biopic by any means – also stars Michaela Watkins (Werewolves Within), Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids, “The Goldbergs”), Ciara Renee (Hawkgirl from CW’s “Arrowverse”), Lusia Strus (Search Party, 50 First Dates), Stephen Root (HBO’s “Barry”, Office Space), and Lucy Freyer. It looks so good, all we can say is…Wow!!!
In PAINT, Owen Wilson portrays Carl Nargle, Vermont’s #1 public television painter who is convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke… until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves.
Written and directed by Brit McAdams, Paint will be released exclusively in theaters on April 7, 2023.
