“The Valet” Starring Eugenio Derbez Set for Worldwide Release on Hulu and Disney+

Lionsgate Remake of the French film has been picked up by Disney’s streaming platforms to premiere Summer 2022 as a Hulu Original in the U.S. and Internationally on Disney+ as a Star Original

The film, the English-language remake of the French hit The Valet, is directed by Richard Wong and stars Eugenio Derbez and Samara Weaving in her first lead role in a romantic comedy.

In the film, Weaving plays Olivia, a movie star who enlists Antonio (Derbez) – a parking valet – to pose as her lover to cover for a relationship with a married man (Greenfield). As a valet, the hard-working Antonio usually flies under the radar but his ruse with Olivia thrusts him into the spotlight and brings him to see himself more clearly than ever before.

“What struck me most about The Valet is how closely my family resembled Antonio’s family and telling their story was like telling mine. Its message of unity, seeing each other and human connection, is something the world could use right now and no one does that better than Hulu and Disney+,” said Wong.

Max Greenfield, Betsy Brandt, Marisol Nichols, Noemi Gonzalez, Carmen Salinas, Ravi Patel, Tiana Okoye, Diany Rodriguez, Armando Hernández, Carlos Santos, Amaury Nolasco, John Pirucello and Alex Fernandez round out the cast.

Additionally, in a previously unannounced supporting role, Reggaeton superstar Lunay is set to make his film acting debut.

“The Valet is a multi-generational, multi-cultural comedy in which people from two different worlds discover the humanity in each other. At 3pas studios we tell stories that try to unite us all and we love partnering with Hulu+ and Disney+ to bring this to the largest global audience possible,” said Derbez and Odell in a joint statement.
