Gordon, the Sundance hit also stars Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter and Ray Romano. Amazon and Lionsgate are teaming to release The Big Sick in theaters this summer. Co-written and starring Kumail Nanjiani, the romantic comedy will hit limited theaters on June 23 and expand wide on July 14. The film is based on the real-life romance of writer Emily V. Gordon (The Carmichael Show) and Pakistan-born comedian Nanjiani, who wrote the script together. In addition to navigating their cultures' clashing, the couple also endured a life-changing twist when Emily contracted a mysterious illness. Zoe Kazan portrays Emily in the film, also featuring Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Anupam Kher, Bo Burnham and Aidy Bryant. Michael Showalter directed the project, which was produced by Judd Apatow and Barry Mendel. Following a heated bidding war, Amazon nabbed U.S. rights to the film for $12 million. The mammoth deal includes a few key territories as well.
