Seeing Kristen Stewart bounce between the acclaimed Princess Diana drama “Spencer,” which landed her a Best Actress Oscar nomination to David Cronenberg’s sci-fi thriller “Crimes of The Future” sure has been an interesting ride. However, it looks like the actress has found another promising project for her dance card and, oddly enough, will allow her to flex her comedic chops, harkening back to the days of 2009’s “Adventureland.”
Deadline reports that Stewart is joining the cast of the road-trip comedy “Sacramento,” which will be directed and co-written by Michael Angarano. Others acting in the film will include Maya Erskine (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”), Michael Cera (“Barbie”), AJ Mendez (“Blade Of The 47 Ronin”), Iman Karram (“Daft State”), Rosalind Chao (“Mulan”), and Angarano takes the lead role of Rickey. Stewart and Erskine will play the wives of the two male leads played by Cera and Angarano.
Here’s a logline for the film that the outlet revealed in the report:
Pic follows Rickey (Angarano), an energetic and free-spirited young man, and Glenn (Cera), his long-time friend who’s settled into domestic life. On an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento, their past comes into focus and questions their future.
“We feel grateful and very excited to make a movie like ‘Sacramento.” Chris Smith and I started writing this film years ago after a pilot of ours didn’t get picked up. We’re honored to be working with this wildly talented cast and crew led by Stephen at Bee-Hive, who is not only a great partner but a true collaborator. It’s already been quite a journey, but we’re finally ready to go make a movie,” Angrano said in a statement.
Other films on the horizon for Stewart are the A24 thriller “Love Lies Bleeding,” and she is also in pre-production on the film “Sontag.” Angarano co-wrote the script for “Sacramento” with Chris Smith. He also previously wrote and directed the film “Avenues,” released back in 2017.
