Screen Gems will release the latest film from Neil LaBute on April 16, 2010
Following the modest success of Lakeview Terrace, director Neil LaBute ( In the Company of Men, Wicker Man ) has chosen to step into the world of comedy with Death at a Funeral. The project is a reimagining of the 2007 British comedy of the same name, which was able to gross $8.6 million in North America. The new Funeral stars Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Danny Glover and Regina King.
After making a name for himself in the world of independent cinema, LaBute switched over to more commercial films with mixed results. His remake of
The Wicker Man
was considered one of the worst films of 2006, and moviegoers agreed since it was able to make only $23.7 million domestically.
