“Selfie” and “Doctor Who” star Karen Gillan is still playing on her comedy chops in “Not Another Happy Ending,” will be coming to DVD and digital platforms Jan. 6. The film is also making a bit of history for distributor Omnibus Entertainment; “Not Another Happy Ending” is the first DVD release for the distributor, the newest division of Film Movement.

Gillan stars as a successful author who is working on the follow-up to her critically acclaimed and reader-beloved book. But she’s fighting a huge villain in her real life – writer’s block. The film also stars Henry Ian Cusick and Stanley Weber and is directed by John McKay.

“Karen Gillan stars as Jane Lockhart, an author who has pulled off a rare feat with her debut novel – critical acclaim and mainstream success. But now, with just the last chapter of the follow-up to write, she encounters crippling writer’s block. It’s bad news for her, and the worst possible circumstance for her publisher, Tom, his company nearly bankrupt. Like all good authors, Jane writes best when miserable, and her newfound literary success, a handsome playwright boyfriend (Henry Ian Cusick, Lost) and a renewed relationship with her father has her happier than ever. With her writer’s block spiraling out of control, even Jane’s fictional characters intrude in her real life, terrified they won’t get the ending they deserve. So Tom, depending on her next book to save his business, takes it upon himself to singlehandedly dismantle every happiness in Jane’s life. As Jane all but gives up on writing the end of the story, Tom’s misguided tampering may just backfire into one very unexpected happily ever after.”

The DVD will include bonus features such as an interview with McKay and featurettes about the making of the movie.
