I'll post the sources tomorrow(as i'm not on my computer right now) but Dolph seems to be shooting a movie called "Best man" with Luke Wilson right now. A quick search on Instagram,and you can find some stuff.

I had the impression D went to shoot something...

Well if that's the case, Luke Wilson already did a movie called "BEST MEN" in 1997

Daniel Zirilli is involved, as a co-producer I guess...

Ok…
My first thought was that this was one of tHej Randall Emmet produced ”Geezer teasers” that Bruce Willis is starring in about 500 a year in. Luke Wilson recently appeard in one of those.

I wonder if this is some kind of action comedy...

The director's name is Shane Taylor, and it seems to be co-produced and sold by Archstone Entertainment (DON'T KILL IT).

Luke Wilson and Dolph is a duo I didn't really expected (if they even share any screen time...) to be in the same film. Doesn't seem like Dolph has a big role tho. Hopefully the quality of the film will be somewhat decent/watchable.

For sure, I also thought Luke Wilson was starring in higher scale indie movies.

Daniel Zirilli is involved, as a co-producer I guess...

He wrote the story.

From a 2020 interview with Zirilli:

My films GUNRUNNER, BLACK WARRANT and THE BEST MAN are signed to other Studios so when the world opens up again after valid Covid-19 concerns, we will need to figure out scheduling — but goal to make most of these over 2020, 2021… and lastly — my “pet project” is a film I’ve been shooting for years on my iPhone, documenting generations of my gangster stray dog pack, that I’m calling DOGFELLAS for now.

This could be fun, great concept and a good cast, but you never know how things are going to turn out unfortunately. I wonder if it has a decent budget.

Not clear if it's a wrap on Nicky Whelan or a wrap on principal photography but if it's latter that'd make it a crazy short shoot...:

It is now officially a WRAP according to actor/producer Scott Martin (DON'T KILL IT's Archstone Entertainment):

When I started writing Best Man I wanted to have good-looking, sharply dressed people kicking ass at an exotic wedding. Dolph & Luke in the can- I rest my case.
