Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat Join Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani and LaKeith Stanfield in THE WRONG GIRLS
Kristen Stewart (Twilight, Spencer) and Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development, Severance) have signed on to star in the indie film The Wrong Girls, a new Neon feature marking the directorial debut of Dylan Meyer (Moxie), who also wrote the script. They join previously announced cast members Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), who also produces via Point Grey, as well as Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick), LaKeith Stanfield (Get Out), Zack Fox (Abbott Elementary), and Tony Hale (Arrested Development).
The Wrong Girls “follows Frankie (Stewart) and Molly (Shawkat), codependent best friends living paycheck to paycheck and 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.”
Coming off of rave reviews for her turn in Rose Glass’s Love Lies Bleeding, Stewart will next be seen in Michael Angarano’s road trip comedy Sacramento, out April 11. She’s wrapped production on her feature directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, and will also soon be seen starring in Panos Cosmatos’s vampire pic Flesh of the Gods opposite Oscar Isaac, as well as Amazon MGM’s limited series The Challenger on astronaut Sally Ride.
Shawkat has recently been seen in Zoë Kravitz’s acclaimed directorial debut Blink Twice and the second season of Apple TV+’s Severance, as well as the buzzy Sundance drama Atropia, which won the festival’s U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize.
Meyer produced Stewart’s The Chronology of Water and is otherwise perhaps best known for co-writing the Amy Poehler-directed dramedy Moxie.
