Eiza González is keeping booked and incredibly busy. Despite having more than a handful of upcoming projects, and currently starring in the Netflix smash hit series, 3 Body Problems, the actress has found a way to squeeze in another high-profile job. According to Deadline, González is set to star alongside comedy great Vince Vaughn in Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, an upcoming buddy action film from 20th Century. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off creator, BenDavid Gabrinski is set to pen the script and direct the project with Andrew Lazar, the producer of Oscar-winning feature American Sniper, to serve as executive producer.
Plot details for the feature are currently being played close to the cuffs, but the project has been tipped off as a buddy comedy with a time travel element to play out within a criminal underworld. Judging by the title, it appears the film will feature dual buddies, perhaps with each one confined to a specific time, with Vaughn playing both Nicks. González confirmed her casting in an Instagram post where she revealed her character, writing; “I’m so honored to be your Alice.” The project also cast James Marsden, likely as Mike, to complete the trio of main titular roles. In the social media post, Gonzalez teased the movie’s plot, saying; “This movie is too good I cannot believe I get to be a part of it.”
