Terrence Howard and Taye Diggs Reunite for Crime Comedy 'BFFs,' Produced by RZA

Terrence Howard and Taye Diggs are set to star in the upcoming crime comedy BFFs, with RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan attached as one of the producers. The film, written by Adam Rifkin and directed by Constantine Paraskevopoulos, is currently in post-production and generating buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where Premiere Entertainment is handling international sales.

BFFs follows Jerry (played by Paraskevopoulos) as he reconnects with his old friend Henry (Rifkin), only to find that Henry’s life has taken an unexpected turn. As the two rekindle their friendship, their juvenile pranks spiral out of control, turning Henry’s world upside down with chaotic and potentially deadly consequences.

The film stars Jennifer Morrison, Aníta Briem, Michael Bacall, Amaury Nolasco, and Nick Stahl, alongside Howard and Diggs. Producers include Paraskevopoulos and RZA through their respective production companies, AMMNI Studios and RZA Productions, with additional executive production by Lynchpin, Blump’s Industries, Digital Ignition, and A3C.

Paraskevopoulos described BFFs as a comedic yet dark exploration of friendships gone awry, describing it as “people who were madly in love and best friends just months prior—and would’ve literally lied on train tracks for each other —now find themselves in a spot where things have gotten so bad, they will stop at no end to ruin each other’s lives through pricey divorce lawyers, custody battles, and anything else they can think of to hurt the other person.”

He added: “In our movie, we’re not saying couples having a problem should work it out, nor are we saying that they shouldn’t, we’re just saying “we didn’t come this far just to come this far…”

BFFs continues to generate buzz at TIFF, which runs until September 15.
