Late Night, directed by Nisha Ganatra, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is set for release in theatres in the US and Canada on June 7.

The comedy drama follows veteran late night talk show host Katherine Newbury (Thompson), who hires her first female writer (Kaling) after she is accused of being 'woman who hates women'.

Her new hire, Molly Patel, then teams up with the temperamental host as the pair attempt to save the show's ratings and keep Katherine from being replaced amid pressure from above.

Mindy's first feature-length screenplay was inspired by her experience as the only woman in an all-male writer's room for The Office.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I vividly remember my experience coming up in the industry with no connections, not having gone to Harvard, being the only diverse person in the room.

'But I also — even more vividly because I was living it when I wrote this — remember what it's like to be in a power position where you're the show-runner and the star of something.

'You're impatient. You're a little complacent, and you're just kind of a demanding boss that worries a little bit that you've lost touch with people.'
