Needless to say, October 13th Guest will take us into the unusual world of sports mascots, even if we aren’t ready. The fact that nearly his entire repertoire returns here (although Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, who are busy on Canada’s Schitt’s Creek, sit this one out) suggests that the balance of old and new should be struck well: Fred Willard, John Michael Higgins, Jennifer Coolidge, Bob Balaban, and Don Lake are all on board, in addition to the headliners like Posey and Lynch, so this should give us exactly what we show up for when we sit down for a Christopher Guest movie. This will be Guest’s first feature in 10 years, following For Your Consideration, and one can see the teaser below, along with a poster, synopsis, and more.
