Gad teased the project in an Instagram post on June 7. He blacked out the title of the project, but left his co-writers’ credits on the image.
“Just handed in a film script that I think may be the funniest and best thing I’ve ever worked on and I am so freaking excited. Working with my boys @cubanmissiledh and @benjisamit has been heaven on Earth and many other planets as well. Love you boys!” he said.
