Out of Order, a new legal comedy starring Superman Returns actor Brandon Routh, will open the 2025 Chelsea Film Festival on October 15 at New York’s Regal 14th Street Cinema. The red carpet begins at 6 p.m., followed by the screening at 7 p.m.

Directed by Guy Jacobson and co-written with Megan Freels Johnston, the film follows John Slater (Routh), a lawyer who tries to win back his ex by joining a top firm, only to end up representing both sides of the same lawsuit in disguise.

The ensemble cast includes Brooke Shields, Sam Huntington, Luis Guzmán, Michael Potts, Sandra Bernhard, Tao Okamoto, Krysta Rodriguez, and Asher Grodman. Routh also serves as a producer.

Jacobson described the project as “a return to physical, character-driven comedy,” citing My Cousin Vinny and Mrs. Doubtfire as influences.

Produced by Intrinsic Value Films, Island View Productions, Smokestack Films, and Business Lunch Productions, Out of Order will debut with Routh and cast in attendance.
