Kristen Stewart will topline "The Wrong Girls", a new Neon film marking the directorial debut of Dylan Meyer, which is up and running in Los Angeles — one of the first indies to kick off production following the devastating wildfires.
Others in the cast include Alia Shawkat, Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, LaKeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, and Tony Hale.
Written and directed by Meyer, "The Wrong Girls" follows Frankie (Stewart) and Molly (Shawkat), codependent best friends living paycheck to paycheck and a bong rip to bong rip, when a case of mistaken identity throws their lives into chaos.
Neon will release the film in U.S. theaters and also reps international rights.
"The Wrong Girls" will be produced by Maggie McLean, Stewart and Meyer for Nevermind Pictures; Alex McAtee, James Weaver, Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Point Grey; and Allison Carter and Jon Read for Savage Rose Productions under their production and development partnership with Neon.
Overseeing for Neon will be Jason Wald, EVP Acquisitions & Production, Claire Timmons, VP Talent Relations, and Kate Gondwe, Manager ADP. The deal was negotiated with WME Independent and UTA Independent Film Group.
"The Wrong Girls" marks the third collaboration between Stewart and Neon following Pablo Larraín’s "Spencer" — which brought the actress her first Oscar nomination for her turn as Princess Diana — and David Cronenberg’s Cannes selection "Crimes of the Future".
Stewart is coming off of rave reviews for her turn in Rose Glass’ "Love Lies Bleeding" and wrapping production on her feature directorial debut, "The Chronology of Water".
She will next be seen in Michael Angarano’s road trip comedy "Sacramento", out April 11, and in Panos Cosmatos’ vampire pic "Flesh of the Gods" opposite Oscar Isaac, as well as making her TV debut in Amazon MGM’s limited series "The Challenger," playing astronaut and physicist Sally Ride.
