The Trailer for Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s Tully, Starring Charlize Theron

Focus Features nabs the rights to the Diablo Cody-penned Tully starring Charlize Theron

Focus Features has debuted the first trailer for Tully, a new comedy from Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air) and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno).

In the film, Marlo (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron), a mother of three including a newborn, is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Mark Duplass). Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully (Mackenzie Davis). Ron Livingston also stars.

Tully is produced by Bron Studios’ Aaron L. Gilbert; Reitman and Helen Estabrook through their Right of Way Productions; Cody and Mason Novick; and Theron, A.J. Dix and Beth Kono through Denver & Delilah Productions.

The film marks a reunion for Reitman, Estabrook, Cody, Novick and Theron, who previously collaborated on Young Adult, for which Theron was a Golden Globe Award nominee. Cody and Reitman also collaborated on Juno, for which Cody won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Tully will open in theaters on April 20.
