Kane Brown will make his feature film debut in the romantic comedy The Token Groomsman, starring Taylor Lautner.

Per Deadline,  Brown will play Neil, the ride or die best friend and moral compass to Lautner’s character Scott, providing advice and laughs as Scott goes searches for money or love over a chaotic weekend.  Director Natalie Simpkins shared in a statement: “we knew we needed bold, lovable personalities to match the heart and humor of this story. Kane brings something so unique. He has a rare mix of vulnerability and magnetism that’s incredibly compelling.”

The indie film “follows the career-focused Scott (Lautner), who has hit rock bottom at work when he finds himself invited to be a groomsman at an elite, luxury, destination wedding. The only problem is he doesn’t remember who the groom is. Enticed by the rich and powerful, and hoping to make some new business connections, Scott jets off to Italy planning to blend in and quickly cash out. But when sparks unexpectedly fly with the groom’s sister Mia, Scott has to decide between “closing the deal” for money, or for love.”

Simpkins also co-wrote original screenplay, alongside John C. Hall and Sohale Andrus Mortazavi. Simpkins, Hall and Pam Renall are the Producers. Production will begin later this year.
