The Bubble
Directed by Judd Apatow
Written by Judd Apatow, Pam Brady
Starring Karen Gillan, David Duchovy, Pedro Pascal, Keegan Michael Key, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Fred Armisen
Release Date April 1st, 2022
The Bubble stars Karen Gillan, at the head of an ensemble cast, as a movie star being convinced to return to an action movie franchise she thought that she had left behind. Gillan’s Carol Cobb became a star in the Cliff Beasts franchise and appeared in 4 of the 5 Cliff Beasts films before abandoning the 5th sequel in favor of making a terrible prestige picture where she played a half Israeli, half Palestinian woman at the heart of the middle east crisis. If you can’t see why that’s a problematic role, one look at a picture of Karen Gillan should explain things.
With this movie failing at the box office and nearly destroying her career, Carol is forced to take back her role in Cliff Beasts for Cliff Beasts 6. However, we’re also in the midst of a pandemic which means that Carol will have to spend several weeks in quarantine in a mansion style hotel in the outskirts of London before shooting can begin. Then she will spend several more months inside the bubble, a closed set intended to protect the cast and crew of Cliff Beasts from COVID-19.
