\"Cecily-Strong\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday Night Live<\/em> cast member Cecily Strong has made a few small film appearances since she joined the cast of the legendary late night sketch series back in 2012, but none have really given her a chance to let her comedic chops go all out. Perhaps that will be changing soon as Strong will be joining Jessica Chastain for Plus One<\/strong>, a romantic comedy in development at the Weinstein Company.<\/p>\n

According to the Tracking Board<\/a> –<\/p>\n

Strong will play Summer, a loud, sexually-oversharing wild card who, as the only single friend Rachel (Chastain) has left, becomes her wing-woman by default.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Tracking Board reports that Amy Schumer had been under consideration for the role. While I can see this role playing to the strengths of both comics, I would guess that Schumer might be looking to continue generating her own material in the wake of the success of this summer’s Trainwreck<\/strong>. Plus One<\/strong>‘s screenplay is by newcomer April Prosser.<\/p>\n

Strong has stood out on Saturday Night Live amongst a cast that features a number of funny ladies thanks to such characters as The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party and one half of a duo of ditzy former porn stars turned spokes-models and her celebrity impressions of Anjelica Huston, Ariana Grande, Sofia Vergara, Jill Kelley, Khloe Kardashian, Megyn Kelly, Alanis Morissette, Gloria Estefan, Rachel Maddow and more.<\/p>\n

With Strong cast the next step is for the production to find a director. No production start or release date for Plus One<\/strong> has been set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
