"He's happy to work at Universal Digital, a company that helps brands make their products more habit-forming. Craig sees no reason to change anything or make new friends... until weatherman Brian moves into the neighbourhood.
"Mysterious yet friendly, macho but vulnerable, Brian transforms everything for Craig, but Craig's obsessive and childlike nature threatens to ruin the friendship, and possibly everything else in his life."
A new still sees Rudd sporting a thick moustache as his character Brian converses with Robinson's character Craig, with the pair's friendship seemingly growing stronger.
Friendship will receive its world premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, which begins on September 5.
