A24‘s Friendship, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd, will begin streaming exclusively on HBO Max in the U.S. on Friday, September 5.
The film will make its linear debut on HBO on Saturday, September 6 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Friendship follows Craig Waterman (Robinson), who enjoys his life. He likes New Balance shoes, Subway sandwiches, and Marvel movies. He lives in the suburbs with his wife, Tami (Kate Mara), and son, Steven (Jack Dylan Grazer). He’s happy to work at Universal Digital, a company that helps brands make their products more habit-forming. Craig sees no reason to change anything or make new friends… until weatherman Austin (Rudd) moves into the neighborhood. Mysterious yet friendly, macho but vulnerable, Austin transforms everything for Craig, but Craig’s obsessive and childlike nature threatens to ruin the friendship, and possibly everything else in his life.
The film marks the feature debut of Andrew DeYoung, who directed from his own script.
Kate Mara and Jack Dylan Grazer also star.
Hailing from Fifth Season and BoulderLight Pictures. In addition to financing the project, Fifth Season produced alongside BoulderLight’s J. D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, with DeYoung and Tracy Rosenblum are exec producing.
