Deadline reports that Hulu has officially acquired the rights to Jake Johnson’s feature directorial debut called ‘Self Reliance’, starring Anna Kendrick and Andy Samberg. The comedy thriller will be available for streaming on September 8.
“The film follows a man who is offered a million dollars to play a game in which hunters try to kill him,” reads the synopsis. “He thinks he found the perfect loophole: they can only attack when he’s alone. His only problem is that none of his friends or family believe the game is real.”
The cast includes Anna Kendrick, Andy Samberg, Natalie Morales, GaTa, Emily Hampshire, Mary Holland, Christopher Lloyd, Boban Marjanović, and Wayne Brady.
