Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick to Co-Star in CONNESCENCE; First Film Together in 20 Years
Husband and wife, and longtime actors, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are reuniting onscreen for the upcoming film Connescence, written and directed by King of Queens creator Michael J. Weithorn. Principal photography kicked off this week, with Bacon and Sedgwick playing the leads, joined by White Lotus star Brittany O’Grady and Oscar-nominated The Fabelmans actor Judd Hirsch.
In the film, “Bacon plays Stan Olszewski, a sharp, funny, but chronically underachieving security guard, who breaks up an attempted robbery at the home of Cynthia Rand (Sedgwick), a successful urologist married to brilliant former Watergate prosecutor Warren Rand (Judd Hirsch). From this chance encounter grows a charged and dynamic friendship – first as late-night text sessions filled with humor and intimate revelations, growing into something that shakes the foundation of both their lives.”
Bacon and Sedgwick, who married in 1988 and have two children including actor Sosie Bacon, haven’t acted together since 2004, during which they starred in both Cavedweller and The Woodsman. Bacon has since directed Sedgwick in Loverboy and Sedgwick directed Bacon in Space Oddity, while the pair have scooped numerous gongs for roles in the likes of The Closer and Taking Chance.
Sedgwick and Bacon said of the project, “We are so excited to work together on screen again for the first time in 20 years in such a funny, moving and original script.” Hill added, “We are thrilled and excited to bring this timely, entertaining and moving story to life with such a stellar cast.”
This sounds like a great film for the two of them. I am a big fan of theirs, and I look forward to checking it out.
