Comedian Daniel Chen Exits Upcoming Film "Below Zero" Over Schedule
Comedian Daniel Chen has stepped down from the upcoming film "Below Zero" due to scheduling conflicts, leaving producers searching for a replacement.
Israeli stand-up comedian and creator Daniel Chen has withdrawn from the upcoming comedy film "Below Zero", directed by Ben Bachar, due to scheduling conflicts. Chen, who was slated to star alongside Matan Peretz and Ben Ben David, participated in early table reads before stepping down. Sources close to the comedian emphasized that the departure stems purely from a packed calendar rather than creative friction.
The project now faces a casting challenge as production is set to begin in January. Bachar, known for the box-office hit "The Oslo Diaries" or rather "Leshakrer et Shuli", must quickly find a replacement to maintain the momentum. Chen, meanwhile, continues his successful stand-up tours and creative projects.
International Success and Acclaim
Last year, Chen achieved significant international recognition with the HOT drama series "Bad Boy", which he co-created with Ron Leshem and Hagar Ben-Asher based on his life. The series won Best Drama at the Berlin TV Series Festival and was subsequently acquired by Netflix, becoming a major global hit.
