Trailer for Yoav Factor's Reuniting the Rubins, starring Rhona Mitra and Timothy Spall. Thanks to Monterey Media who have uploaded their trailer for the comedy helmed and scripted by Yoav Factor, who also produces alongside Jonathan Weissler. In Reuniting the Rubins, an uptight lawyer, Lenny Rubins, (Timothy Spall - The King's Speech), has to put his dream retirement on hold when his ailing mother (Honor Blackman - Goldfinger) emotionally blackmails him into reuniting his estranged children for a holiday gathering. They may be peas from the same pod, but in Lenny's eyes, his grown-up children are certainly not even from the same planet: a ruthless control-freak and hard-nosed capitalist (James Callis - Battlestar Galactica), an outspoken, argumentative eco-warrior committed to the cause (Rhona Mitra - Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), an outer-worldly Buddhist Monk; and to cap it all, a bible bashing born-again Rabbi!
