Plot
What is the plot of the film?
The plot of the movie Imaginary Friends is said to revolve around a person who can communicate with other people's old, imaginary friends, some of whom, he comes to know, are angry or upset for being cast aside.
The film's production will commence next summer, most probably after Reynolds returns from his recently-announced sabbatical from movie making after wrapping Spirited, which co-stars Will Ferrell.
Release
Is Reynolds returning to filming movies with 'Imaginary Friends'?
Moreover, it is unclear if Imaginary Friends will be Reynolds's first project after his break.
Announcing his sabbatical from movies after completing Spirited, the actor had earlier stated, "Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I'm gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists. These days, kindness matters as much as talent."
