Tom Segura To Star In & Produce R-Rated Comedy ‘El Tigre’


Tom Segura is set to star in and produce 'El Tigre,' a feature comedy from 'Mermaid' helmer Tyler Cornack.

Segura came to partner with Cornack here after being wowed by his work on Mermaid, a critically acclaimed comedic thriller starring his friend and fellow comic Johnny Pemberton, which Utopia acquired on the heels of its SXSW world premiere. This nod to Kevin Kline’s Dave and Pacino’s Scarface feels like the perfect twisted marriage, and with Tyler’s fresh directorial vision combined with Tom’s proven comedic appeal, we knew this was exactly the kind of project we wanted to back.” On Bad Thoughts, which premiered in May, Segura transforms into a whole assortment of characters, both real and fictional — among them, actor and martial artist Steven Seagal, secretive operative Agent Six, and country music superstar-turned-kidnapper Rex Henley.
