“Ella McCay” Trailer Released
Disney has released a new trailer for the upcoming 20th Century Studios “Ella McCay,” which is a brand new comedy from Oscar and Emmy Award-winning writer, director and producer James L. Brooks, who previously worked on “As Good as It Gets,” “Terms of Endearment,” “Broadcast News,” and “The Simpsons”.
This movie tells the story of Ella McCay, an idealistic young woman, who juggles her family and work life in a story about the people you love and how to survive them.
Check out the “Ella McCay” trailer below:
The movie stars Emma Mackey (“Barbie”), Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”), Jack Lowden (“Slow Horses”), Kumail Nanjiani (“The Big Sick”), Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Spike Fearn (“Alien Romulus”), Julie Kavner (“The Simpsons”), Rebecca Hall (“Christine”), Becky Ann Baker (“Girls”) and Joey Brooks (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty”), with Albert Brooks (“Broadcast News”) and Woody Harrelson (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”).
James L. Brooks said in a statement regarding the trailer release:
“My goal for this movie was to pay tribute, as best I could, to the golden age of movie comedy, the 1940’s and 50’s, when each of the Hepburns reigned. (Very strangely, it ended up feeling timely.) The challenge all along was to maintain the same zany spirit of that era, while still taking seriously the inevitable jolts, pains and pitfalls of being human. I was lucky enough to have a dream cast who delivered this story about Ella and her family with an energy and spirit way past what I’d imagined.”
“Ella McCay” is produced by James L. Brooks, Richard Sakai, Julie Ansell, and Jennifer Brooks, executive produced by Colby Pines, Seth William Meier and Amy Brooks, and features original music by Hans Zimmer.
This original film will release in theatres nationwide on December 12th, 2025, and we should expect to see the film arrive on Hulu and Disney+ internationally in early 2026.
