Universal Pictures has abandoned plans to release the Patrick Wilson comedy-thriller Stretch. Stretch was helmed by Jason Blum and Blumhouse productions.
Stretch was directed by Joe Carnahan, who is known for his work on The A-Team and The Grey. The budget was under five million for the film and it was set to be released in theaters in late March, The Hollywood Reporter added.
Stretch will tell the story of Wilson who plays a chauffeur who picks up a difficult and devious billionaire, played by Chris Pine. Pine is also only featured in the film as a cameo role.
Jessica Alba, Brooklyn Decker, Ed Helms and Ray Liotta also star in Stretch, Cinema Blend reported.
Blum is known for working on films such as, Paranormal Activity and Insidious. Blum also worked on the breakout horror film the Purge which already has a sequel in production.
Even though Universal has dropped the project a source close to the studio says that they care looking into creative ways to release the film.
