Gina Rodriguez, Damon Wayans Jr. and Tom Ellis are set to star in a romantic comedy for Netflix called “Players.”
“Pitch Perfect 3” and “The Sleepover” director Trish Sie will direct the film that’s produced by Marc Platt (“La La Land”) and is about two romantic “players” who get tangled up in love.
Rodriguez stars as a Chicago sportswriter who has spent years devising successful hook-up “plays” with her best friend, played by Wayans Jr., and their crew. But when she unexpectedly falls for one of her targets, played by Ellis, they must learn what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps.
