Unveiling Chaos: Chicago Fire Icon Joins the Thrilling Ride of Daddy Trailer!

Hold onto your hats, folks, because a new trailer has just emerged for the film *Daddy*, a delightful blend of dark comedy and starry-eyed sci-fi!

Imagine this: Yuriy Sardarov, the lovable firefighter Brian "Otis" Zvonecek from *Chicago Fire*, is back on the scene. Flickering Myth has lifted the curtain on this gem, co-written and co-directed by newcomers Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman. The film marks their feature film debut, and trust me, they’re coming in hot!

Set against the backdrop of a dystopian world where the state controls the sacred art of fatherhood, *Daddy* follows four hapless men forced to attend a government-mandated retreat in the serene yet ominously quiet mountains of California. No guide, no instructions, just a bunch of guys trying to prove they can be dads. Talk about the ultimate reality show, but without the cameras (or the audience, for that matter).

Now, we've grown rather attached to Sardarov’s Otis over seven long seasons of firehouse drama. His brand of comic relief amidst chaos was like a comforting cup of coffee on a chaotic morning. One wonders whether he’ll channel that same charm and humor as he navigates the peculiar challenges of fatherhood in this brave new world of *Daddy*.

Joining him is the fabulous Jacqueline Toboni, who graced our screens in *The L Word: Generation Q* and left us all spellbound as Theresa Rubel in *Grimm*. Then there's Britt Baron, who you might recognize as Justine from Netflix’s hit show *GLOW* or as the iconic Tifa Lockhart in the *Final Fantasy VII Remake* trilogy. I mean, can we get a cast that delivers both laughs and a few teary moments? Yes, please!

Mark your calendars for a special roadshow screening in December, with stops at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor on December 5th and Gardena Theater in Gardena, CA on December 11th. If you want to catch it in theaters, get ready for its official release starting January 24, 2025, followed by a much-anticipated VOD availability on February 25 via DISH. Who wouldn't want to cuddle up with popcorn and explore the complexities of what it means to be a dad, especially when society has a say?

All in all, *Daddy* promises to be a hilarious yet poignant exploration of fatherhood, societal expectations, and the endless quest for identity in this brave, new world. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself laughing out loud, and perhaps shedding a tear or two, as you join these four gentlemen on their hilariously misguided journey.
