Produced by 21 Laps and The Jim Henson Co., the family film follows a boy (Oxenbould) who wakes up with gum in his hair, and things get worse from there. It’s slated to open in theaters on Oct. 10, 2014.
Johnstone played Cameron, the head of the advance team of Mitt Romney‘s presidential campaign, on the second season of HBO’s The Newsroom. He’ll next appear in HBO comedy Getting On with Laurie Metcalf, Alex Borstein and Niecy Nash. He’s repped by Working Entertainment and BRS.
