Comedy ‘Don't Tell Larry,' Led by ‘She-Hulk' Actress Patty Guggenheim, Gets Summer Release (Exclusive)
Dark workplace comedy feature Don't Tell Larry is hoping to start conversations this summer. The indie film from directors Greg Porper (Worst Birthday Ever) and John Schimke (Red Table Talk) has been acquired by Level 33 Entertainment, which is set to launch international sales at the Cannes Film Festival and release the movie theatrically June 20. Leading the cast are Patty Guggenheim, Ed Begley Jr., Dot-Marie Jones, Kenneth Mosley and Kiel Kennedy. More from The Hollywood Reporter Palestinian Journalist and Protagonist in Cannes-Bound Documentary Killed in Gaza Cannes Film Festival: The American Pavilion to Launch Inaugural "California Day" Two Boys and Their Dad Wander Through Lagos in 'My Father's Shadow' (Exclusive First Look) Don't Tell Larry centers on Susan (Guggenheim), an ambitious office worker who tells a small lie to her offbeat colleague (Kennedy) in hopes of landing a promotion, with the situation soon spiraling out of control. The trailer, which is exclusive to The Hollywood Reporter, shows Susan going into panic mode when she suspects that Larry may have had something to do with the death of their co-worker (Begley). 'We need to get Larry fired,' Susan declares in the footage. The movie, which collected best comedy and audience choice honors at the Pasadena Film Festival, began its life as a web series. Directors Porper and Schimke made the film during the pandemic and funded it in part by selling off personal assets. The movie's team is using meme-focused marketing to spread the word, along with an AI chatbot version of the title character and a fake company website. Level 33 CEO Andreas Olavarria praises Don't Tell Larry as 'a story full of laughs and thrills we believe audiences everywhere will enjoy.' Guggenheim had a role on the Marvel series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and has more recently recurred on the series Matlock, The Spiderwick Chronicles and iCarly.
