Jon S. Baird is teaming up with eOne on Everything’s Going to Be Great, and he rounded out an amazing ensemble for his next film. Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney landed lead roles in this promising project, which hails from I, Tonya screenwriter Steven Rogers.
Everything’s Going to Be Great has been described as “a valentine to big dreamers whose dreams won’t necessarily come true” and it’s expected the explore the themes of individuality vs. conformity and fantasy vs. reality.
At its very core, this film will tell a touching family story by taking us on a journey with the Smart family, as they move from one state to the next and cope with loss and struggle with identity—all while performing in regional theater.
In addition to Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney, this project will also star Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (The Haunting of Bly Manor) and Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water).
Cranston is currently starring in Showtime’s crime drama Your Honor, and will soon appear in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle. Allison Janney appeared in The People We Hate at the Wedding, Lou and To Leslie just last year, and we’ll soon see her in Gareth Edwards’ True Love and Apple TV+ series Mrs. American Pie.
