The indie comedy “Landline” — filmed in Wrigley Field and featuring Cubs great Ryne Sandberg — is set to premiere Sunday at the Music Box Theatre, just two weeks before the Cubs’ home opener.
Writer-director Matthew Aaron plays a public relations executive who gives up his cellphone and WiFi connection after losing a promotion to a recent college graduate with a penchant for technology. Comedian Tom Arnold and Betsy Brandt (“Breaking Bad”) also star. Sandberg plays himself.
