EXCLUSIVE: Arbel Kodesh has wrapped on Going There, the Israeli buddy comedy from Astral Future and United King Films, on which we were first to report in December. Previously unannounced additions to the cast include Rachael Harris (The Hangover), Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld), Brett Gelman (The Other Guys), Colton Dunn (Key and Peele), Katelyn Nacon (The Walking Dead), and Creed Bratton (The Office).
As previously announced, Stefanie Yunger, Mia Saul, Gregg Sulkin, Dylan Sprayberry, David Mazouz and Shahar Saul also star.
The story follows Rachel (Yunger), a juvenile woman in her late twenties who steals the passport of her younger sister (Nacon) and takes her place on an all-expense-paid trip to Israel in order to chase down her ex-boyfriend (Sulkin) in Tel Aviv. But after illegally entering the country, Rachel finds herself unable to escape her sister’s organized tour and is forced to become “Becca.” She quickly finds a nemesis in Mor (Saul), a stern IDF soldier who senses something is off about the imposter tourist and makes it her mission to stand in Rachel’s way. The script, penned by Kodesh and Joshua Losben, received an award from the Rabinovitch Foundation, with the film shot on location in Israel and Los Angeles.
Astral Future Co-Founder Matthew G. Zamias produced alongside Jacob Horn, as well as United King’s Ofer Naim, with Moshe Edery and Albertino Matalon exec producing.
