“The film is an uplifting, music-driven story about a wedding singer (Rudd), a rock star (Jonas), and the song that comes between them,” reads the logline.

Reynor will be joining previously announced lead stars Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) and Nick Jonas (Welcome to Jumanji), who have already started filming the movie in Dublin, Ireland.
