American actress Emma Roberts is set to star in the comedy movie "Hot Mess".
Roberts will play Laurel Mack, a contestant on a popular American dating show who has a very public meltdown on air. Having failed to win love on TV, Laurel is forced to return to her hometown and live in her quirky parents’ basement, friendless and constantly bumping into her miserable ex the whole town oddly adores, while feeling the constant mockery of those who witnessed her on-screen humiliation.
She embarks on a hilarious and heartfelt journey to discover a real connection, both with herself and others.
TV director Katie Locke O’Brien will helm Hot Mess in her feature debut from a script by Gabrielle D’Amico.
Debbie Liebling, Maggie Malina, and Laura Lewis are producing. Mister Smith Entertainment is handling international sales and will launch the project at the Cannes film market next week. Laura Lewis at Rebelle Media is representing North American rights.
"Hot Mess" is currently in pre-production and is set to begin principal photography in early 2024.
Moreover, Roberts is set to appear alongside Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney in the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off "Madame Web".
