Initially announced in November 2024, Amazon MGM Studios‘ upcoming comedy, Judgment Day is currently in development. IMDB reports that the movie follows a young convict, played by Zac Efron, who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage, blaming a power-hungry TV judge, portrayed by Will Ferrell, for a past ruling that ruined his life. While pre-production is already underway, no official release date has been announced, though the collaboration between these actors has garnered attention.

Directed by Nicholas Stoller, known for comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Five-Year Engagement, the film marks another collaboration with Ferrell and Efron, who previously worked together in the Neighbors series. Stoller is not only directing but also producing through Stoller Global Solutions, with Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Alex Brown producing under Gloria Sanchez Productions.
