Jason Sudeikis And Charlie Day Team Up For 'One Night On The Hudson'

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day will star in the cop comedy One Night on the Hudson, while Seth Gordon is on board to direct.

One Night on the Hudson follows a veteran cop who’s paired with a fresh faced rookie and it happens to be  his first day on the job. The pair’s only real task is to trasport a federal witness from New Jersey to New York, but everything goes awry along the way. As seen on The Hollywood Reporter, there’s no news yet on which actor will be playing the rookie and who will be the vet. It’s really a toss up since both actors are the same age.

The soon to be Mrs. Olivia Wilde-Sudeikis. Suffice it to say Sudeikis is one lucky man.

Sudeikis and Day are no strangers. The pair first acted together in Going The Distance where they played bumbling best friends to Justin Long’s character. They teamed up again in Horrible Bosses, only this time they landed the starring roles, with Jason Bateman completing their comedy trifecta.

The two actors have very successful solo careers so far, but aren’t necessarily mainstream just yet. Charlie Day currently stars on FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and is known for his hilariously high pitched voice. Jason Sudeikis is Saturday Night Lives’ current golden child and recently announced his engagement to smoking hot actress Olivia Wilde. There’s no doubt Sudeikis and Day will be household names in no time.

Sudeikis and Day cater their comedy to a specific demographic, typically  young, raunchy males (hence why many of you might have been asking “who??” at the start of this article.) While I’m not a raunchy young male, I still find both Day and Sudeikis irresistibly funny and look forward to their newest endeavor.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
