Actress Mila Kunis has been announced to star alongside Michael Keaton in the upcoming comedy film Goodrich. The comedy film will follow the life of an art dealer Andy Goodrich (Keaton). Goodrich serves as Keaton‘s return to the comedy scene after years of starring in dramatic works.
The upcoming film, which is set to start filming in April in Los Angeles, according to Deadline, will star Kunis as Andy’s pregnant grown daughter, Grace.

The art dealer is left to take care of their 9-year-old twins, unprepared for the task of modern parenting, Andy is forced to seek the help and support of his grown pregnant daughter from his first marriage, a move that will lead to the beginning of a better relationship between Andy and Grace.
Keaton will executive produce the movie alongside Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Little Women). Writer-director Hallie Meyers-Shyer, who made her feature debut with Reese Witherspoon-led rom-com Home Again will write and direct. Jason Cloth (Joker, Licorice Pizza) and Dave Caplan‘s C2 Motion Picture Group will finance and produce the movie with Daniela Taplin Lundberg of Stay Gold Features (Nanny, Harriet, The Kids Are All Right) and Kevin Mann (Together, Together, Sneakerheads).
Goodrich will begin filming in April.
