Bill Murray and Kristen Wiig have been set to star in the upcoming Max Barbakow comedy ‘Epiphany.’
The project follows Favorite Ives (Wiig), an heiress and fashionista who has blown through her entire fortune and is forced to take up a challenge: marry a rich husband in two weeks or lose everything and end up on the street. Her desperate search for a big-money mark slams her into eccentric math savant and billionaire Oz Bell (Bill Murray). Favorite needs Oz’s money and Oz craves Favorite’s spirit and spontaneity. Can this unlikely couple find something more?

“It’s a rare, delightful experience when a story takes you on a journey that all at once manages to make you laugh, make you feel, and hold a mirror up to the wonderful absurdities of everyday life,” said Barbakow.
Directed by ‘Palm Springs’ filmmaker Barbakow, the movie is produced by Glazer (Lost in Translation) and The Gotham Group’s Lee Stollman and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (Deliver Me From Nowhere, The Maze Runner franchise). Wiig and Murray serve as executive producers alongside Jillian Apfelbaum (The Mule, Late Night) and Margot Hand (Passing, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar).
