Iconic Events has recently announced that it has obtained the domestic rights to the highly anticipated dark comedy film, “The Prank”. Directed by Maureen Bharoocha, the film features an all-star cast, including EGOT winner Rita Moreno, Connor Kalopsis, and Ramona Young. With its unique storyline and talented cast, “The Prank” is set to be a crowd-pleaser when it hits approximately 200 screens on March 15.
“The Prank” follows the story of Ben, played by Connor Kalopsis, a typical high-school overachiever who is organized, goal-oriented, and dedicated to his studies. His best friend, Tanner, played by Ramona Young, is the complete opposite – a carefree slacker who lives in the moment. Despite their differences, Ben and Tanner have a strong bond and don’t seem to be bothered by their lack of popularity.
The film takes an interesting turn when Ben’s physics teacher, Mrs. Wheeler, portrayed by the legendary Rita Moreno, becomes the focus of their prank. Mrs. Wheeler is known for her strictness and has a reputation as the hardest and coldest faculty member at the school. When she fails Ben’s entire class, unless the student who cheated comes forward, Ben and Tanner devise a plan to frame her for murder on social media.
In addition to the lead cast members, “The Prank” also features a talented ensemble including Keith David, Kate Flannery, Meredith Salenger, and Jonathan Kimmel. Each actor brings their own unique comedic style to the film, creating a dynamic and entertaining experience for the audience.
“The Prank” is a Sneak Preview Entertainment production in association with Inphenate. The film was produced by Steven J. Wolfe, with XRM Media financing the project. The executive producers include Michael Y. Chow and Glenn Rigberg. The film has already garnered attention in the industry, with its premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival receiving positive reviews.
Maureen Bharoocha, the director of “The Prank”, expressed her excitement about bringing the film to the big screen. She emphasized the opportunity for audiences to see Rita Moreno in a role unlike any they’ve seen before and invited viewers to experience the laughs, thrills, and twists that “The Prank” has to offer.
