Fool’s Paradise is a passion project for Charlie Day. He wrote it, directed it and he stars in it. After his successful stint voicing Luigi in Super Mario Bros. He is now playing a role that doesn’t speak. He will try to pull his inner Charlie Chaplin in this movie. If you are a Ray Liotta fan who got upset that the last movie he filmed before he died was Cocaine Bear, Well this is one of his final three movies. According to Day in an interview on Today’s Show, said that Ray was so excited about this movie that he calls every three months, On the bright side, Ray gets to watch this movie before it hits theaters. So he has great memories of a movie he is proud of before he died.
Charlie Day believes in Fool’s Paradise as he manages to manifest actors like John Malkovich, Adrien Brody, Kate Beckinsale, Common, and Jason Sudeikis to accept roles in this movie.

Fool’s Paradise official trailer

In an insane Asylum, there is a patient who doesn’t talk but he is not mute and deaf. He acts and behaves like a character from a 1920s silent film. The Doctor thinks keeping him is a waste of government money. Since he is not violent anyway he got kicked out of the mental hospital. Nobody knows what is name but people call him Latte Prompto. (Charlie Day).

A Producer(Ray Liotta) is having a problem with an actor he is currently working with but he saw a look-alike of that actor wandering around the streets. That is Latte, who may not be able to speak but can act. Latte is given a Publicist(Ken Jeong) and overnight, he became an instant movie star. He is an unexplainable Enigma because people got drawn to him even if cannot talk. He got so famous that he ends up marrying his co-star. (Kate Beckinsale). Who is Latte Prompto and why people are so drawn to him? Where does he come from?

Fool’s Paradise will be coming to theaters this May 12, 2023.
