In addition to co-writing and starring, Reynolds is set to executive produce Upstate via his Maximum Effort production banner alongside August.
Plot details are currently being kept under wraps for the project, but Reynolds is set to co-write the screenplay with John August, with whom he previously worked on the 2007 ensemble sci-fi psychological thriller The Nines, August acting as writer/director and Reynolds as the lead on the project.
It marks the latest project Reynolds has added to his production banner after signing on earlier this month to the monster comedy Everyday Parenting Tips at Universal Pictures, based on Simon Rich’s New Yorker short story of the same name, in which he is also set to produce and star.
As if Ryan Reynolds wasn’t already the busiest man in Hollywood, the 43-year-old performer has added another new project to his upcoming roster with the comedy Upstate, which is being developed as a vehicle for him to star in and co-write, according to Variety.
