Alicia Silverstone to Star in Dark Comedy "Krazy House"

American actress Alicia Silverstone has signed on to star in the dark comedy movie “Krazy House”.

Nick Frost, Kevin Connolly, Dutch Gaite Jansen, Walt Klink, Jan Bijvoet, Chris Peters, and Matti Stooker round out the cast.

The movie hails from writers-directors Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil, marking the first English-language movie by the duo.

The filmmakers first rose to prominence as founding members of the Dutch comedy group New Kids.

Among their films to hit at the Dutch box office are “New Kids Turbo”, “Bro’s Before Ho’s”, and “Ron Goossens: Low Budget Stuntman”. All four have played in selection at Austin’s Fantastic Fest where they have been awarded jury prizes including Best Feature and Best Director.

Set in the 90s, “Krazy House” is about religious homemaker Bernie (Frost) and his sitcom family.

When Russian workers in Bernie’s house turn out to be wanted criminals, they make Bernie and his family tear the place up in search of some old hidden loot. Bernie, who is slowly going crazy, has to be brave to free himself and save his imprisoned family.

Maarten Swart will produce the movie for Kaap Holland Film, in a co-production with Haars and van der Kuil. Kaap Holland Film’s Jorn Baars and XYZ’s Todd Brown are executive producers.

Splendid Films is handling the distribution of the movie in the Benelux. XYZ is handling North American sales.

Production on the movie has just been completed in Amsterdam. “Krazy House” is made with the support of the Netherlands Film Fund, the Netherlands Film Production Incentive, and the Abraham Tuschinski Fund Foundation.

Silverstone is known for her iconic role as Cher in “Clueless”. She will star in the Netflix/Black Label thriller “Reptile” opposite Benicio Del Toro and Justin Timberlake.

The actress will next be seen in Imran J. Khan’s feature “Mustache”, which is set to premiere at SXSW, and Jennifer Reeder’s “Perpetrator”, set to debut at the Berlin Film Festival.
