We’ve been calling this one for a while, but the move has finally been made. The new Britt Robertson comedy Starbuck is a remake of the French Canadian film of the same name from last year, but as long as the project has been in pre-production we’ve predicted that the name wouldn’t stick around long. Now the title has officially been changed.
Coming Soon has learned that the film has changed its name from Starbuck to The Delivery Man. While the site doesn’t say why the title was switched, one can assume it has something to do with a certain mega huge insanely popular chain of coffee stores. The film is being directed by Ken Scott – who also directed the original movie – and the supporting cast includes Chris Pratt, Cobie Smulders, Ben Bailey and Vince Vaughn.
The Delivery Man is being made by DreamWorks Pictures, but a release date has not yet been announced. Production is scheduled to begin this December in New York City, which means we can likely expect it in theaters sometime in fall 2013 or in early 2014.
This week Delivery Man began screen tests and other pre-production work, including set up for a basketball scene, at EUE Screen Gems Studio in Manhattan. You can find more information about the movie here.
