Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan play a
bickering gay couple in the upcoming comedy Ideal Home.
International buyers at the American
Film Market snapped up the film earlier this month, according to The
Hollywood Reporter.
British comic Coogan plays Erasmus, a
celebrity, in the film, while Rudd plays Paul. The couple's
extravagant life is upended by the unexpected arrival of Erasmus'
grandson Bill (played by Jack Gore). Bill shows up at the couple's
doorstep after his father Beau (Jake McDorman) loses custody to his
estranged dad Erasmus and Paul.
Ideal Home is written and
directed by Andrew Fleming, whose other credits include The Craft,
Hamlet 2 and Threesome.
Coogan's performance opposite Judi
Dench in Philomena won him a Golden Globe nomination. Rudd
plays superhero Scott Lang / Ant-Man in Marvel's Ant-Man and
Captain America: Civil War.
Ideal Home
also includes openly gay actor Drew Droege, who is best known for
creating a series of videos spoofing actress Chloe Sevigny's
fashionable image.
