Jonathan Roumie of the critically acclaimed series “The Chosen” is set to star alongside Kevin James and Alyson Hannigan in Angel Studios’ first romantic comedy, titled “Solo Mio.”
In addition to stars James (“The King of Queens,” “Paul Bart: Mall Cop,” “Grown Ups”) and Hannigan (“American Pie,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “How I Met Your Mother”), “Solo Mio” includes Julie Ann Emery (“Fargo,” “Better Call Saul”), Kim Coates (“Sons of Anarchy”), Julie Ann Emery, Julee Cerda, Salomé Chandler, Nicole Grimaudo, and Julia Messina.
According to the film’s synopsis on IMDB, Matt, who is played by James, goes on his Italian honeymoon alone after being dumped at the altar of his wedding. During his trip, he rediscovers his love for life and food while meeting a woman named Gia, played by Grimaudo.
Angel Studios president Jordan Harmon told Deadline,
We saw “Solo Mio,” and the feeling was incredible. We knew it was a perfect fit for Angel to release to a broad audience. Kevin James and Jonathan Roumie bring heart, humor, and originality to this uplifting tale of rediscovery, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience it in theaters.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be partnered with Angel on ‘Solo Mio,'” producer Jeffrey Greenstein said. “This is a film that people need to see in theaters. The world just needs fun, heartfelt content with a strong message, and we’re excited to get them back into the theaters to see this one.”
Roumie is currently filming the crucifixion scene for Season 6 of “The Chosen.” Describing the process of preparing for the portrayal of Jesus’ death, Roumie recently told ChurchLeaders, “There’s no way to get around the difficulty of that on so many levels. Just trying to be ready for it, and trying to, I don’t know, just empty myself and allow the Lord to just be with me throughout the process.”
“I’ve been training specifically for this season,” he added. “So there’s been a lot of self-sacrifice in order to birth, to bring my idea of how I want Jesus to feel and look for Season 6.”
