Alicia Silverstone Set To Star in Erotic Thriller THE BIRD AND THE BEE
Alicia Silverstone and Karl Glusman are set to star in a project titled The Bird and the Bee, which is described as a “sexually charged thriller.” Silverstone plays a successful executive in the movie as she fights back a scorned younger lover (Glusman) who takes his obsession too far.
The movie is being directed by Justin Kelly (Welcome the Stranger), who described the film as “a unique take on a twisted romance that I’m thrilled to bring to life because it’s not only a great story but also an exciting departure from my previous films. While reading Donnelly’s brilliant script, I immediately pictured the look and vibe of the many great 80s and 90s erotic thrillers—stylish, moody, and sexy.”
The script for the film was written by Atlantis actor Jack Donnelly. The director went on to add: “I’m honored to work with the iconic Alicia Silverstone for the second time (after KING COBRA) as well as the uber-talented Karl Glusman— their on-screen chemistry is electric. A big thank you to Yale Productions for our third collaboration together, SAG for blessing us with an interim agreement, and my incredible cast and crew. I cannot wait to share this film with the world.”
Producers Jordan Yale Levine (Becky, Bandit) and Jordan Beckerman (Separation, Becky) shared in a statement: “We are thrilled to be working with Justin on a third film. His presence is always a sure sign of an artistic and thought-provoking story with a depth to every shot that has become a signature of his work.”
This sounds like it’ll be an interesting film. I’ve just been a fan of Silverstone for years, and it’s been great seeing her continue to land some good roles.
