Owen Wilson and Ed Helms comedy Bastards retitled Father Figures

September 18, 2017 by Gary Collinson

This probably won’t come as much of a surprise, but Warner Bros. has announced that it has changed the title of cinematographer Lawrence Sher’s (The Hangover) upcoming directorial debut Bastards, with the Owen Wilson and Ed Helms comedy now going by the name Father Figures.

The film (which has been going by the title Who’s Your Daddy in the UK), sees Helms and Wilson as Peter and Kyle Reynolds, two brothers whose eccentric mother (Glenn Close) raised them to believe their father had died when they were young. When they discover this to be a lie, they set out to find their real father, learning more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know.
