Captain America star Chris Evans cast as lovestruck writer in Playing It Cool
Before fans get to see Chris Evans reprise his iconic role as Captain America in Avengers: Age of Ultron which will hit the theaters May 1 next year, they can now watch him beginning this December 17 in the romantic comedy film Playing It Cool.
Directed by Justin Reardon and written by Chris Shafer and Paul Vicknair, Playing It Cool will have Evans playing the part of the narrator, referred to only as the "Me" in the film, a movie scriptwriter who wants to do action but gets assigned instead by his boss to write a script for a romantic comedy. Since he hasn't really been in love, he was having a hard time even starting writing the script. That is, until one day, he meets "Her", the ideal girl of his dreams. Unfortunately for him, she happens to be already engaged to a "Stuffy" guy. With a circle of unconventional writer friends around him giving him advice on the different perspectives of love, he tries to just stay as friends with her. But it seems he can't. Will he win her over in the end? Will he get to finish his writing assignment? Find out when Playing It Cool hits the cinemas nearest you.
Aside from Evans who plays the first person narrator, Playing It Cool stars Michelle Monaghan as "Her," Ioan Gruffudd as "Stuffy," Anthony Macky as his boss Bryan, along with Aubrey Plaza, Luke Wilson and Topher Grace as his friends. Others in the cast include Martin Starr, Patrick Warburton, Giovanni Ribisi, Philip Baker Hall, Matthew Morrison and Ashley Tisdale
Following Playing It Cool but still before Avengers: Age of Ultron, Evans may get to be seen again in yet another poignant romantic comedy. Evans starred, directed and produced Before We Go which is already completed but still awaiting distribution schedule by RADiUS. Alice Eve and Mark Kassen co-stars with Evans in Before We Go.
