Matthias Schweighöfer is in front of the camera in Los Angeles for Netflix. "Family Leave" tells of the challenge of children becoming independent. The actor now proudly announces which well-known colleague is at his side during the shooting.
Matthias Schweighöfer has a new film project on the line. The German acting star is currently in front of the camera with none other than Jennifer Garner. The two are shooting together for the previously announced new Netflix film "Family Leave".
Schweighöfer announced the news from Hollywood on Instagram with a photo of himself and Garner together: Arm in arm, the two smile at the camera. He wrote: "Now I can finally reveal why I'm here, among other things: Super proud to be able to shoot 'Family Leave' with this fantastic actress. [...] Greetings to you dear people from Los Angeles!"
Netflix also recently confirmed in a statement that Schweighöfer has joined the cast of "Family Leave". In addition to him and Garner, Ed Helms, Emma Myers, Brady Noon, Rita Moreno and Bashir Salahuddin will also be there. Garner is also in charge of producing.
"Family Leave" is about the everyday family life of Jess and Bill Walker, whose children are growing older and more independent and want to have less and less to do with their parents. But meeting a fortune teller suddenly turns the family's life upside down. Because the next morning, all roles in the family have been completely reversed - of all things on a day when there is a promotion, a college interview, a record deal and a soccer audition on the agenda. A big challenge for the Walkers. How far the shooting is and when the film will be released is not yet known.
